There is no way it could have affected the mood of the rest of the voters. Many people came to the polling stations as if it were a holiday. For athletes on sakhalin, where the annual Alpine Skiing championship takes place, voting surrounded by the hills has already become a tradition. Tourists in arkhiz were assigned to local sites in advance. There was an extraordinary communication session for the astronauts in orbit, and authorized representatives filled out ballots on their behalf. Artists came in their costumes, creative groups came in singing russia walk beautifully in makhachkala , a hundredyearold veteran arrived with a bouquet of ros, in karachaevo circassia they combined elections, russian maslenitsa and caucasian traditions. A Colorful Group of elders came to vote in a highmountain village, they were poured fermented milk ayran drink, but wishes to the future president still sounded like a toast. Allah, may god help, the road will be open, we will all support him. Alim yusupov, results of the week, ntv television company. But further, if we continue the logic of elections and choice, it turns out that the return of crimea is not just a decision made and an incredible operation, it is the truth, acceptance of the countrys course and the first powerful step, which should have been a big warning, because we took it largely because they understood and we saw that after maidan, the strategic peninsula will be turned into a nato base, which will deprive us of any freedom, maneuver, and not only in the black sea, which is why, when stoltenberg now announces, it will be a historical. Mistake to let putin win in ukraine and admits that strikes on the ships of the black sea fleet were carried out with natosupplied weapons, you just need to understand that the father of the doctrine of our containment during the cold war, the guru of American Foreign policy kenon, wrote about a real historical mistake, when back in ninetyseven he tried to reach out to clinton, his article in the New York Times was called a fatal mistake, and he called it exactly the idea of nato expansion to the east, trying to explain, if there is no longer any hostility, there are reasons and to put pressure on the russians for this, this will force them to answer and not trust the entire west. In his formulation, this was a thoughtless throwin, the idea of transferring the completely nonukrainian crimea to ukraine, along with the expansion of nato, this could begin a cold war, which will certainly end in a hot one. Yes, clinton asked the question for the first time, even if kenon is against it, maybe nato should not be expanded . And kennons student telbat, one of the authors of the idea of the destruction of yugoslavia, assured everything is in order, this time the guru in containing russia is wrong. That is, everything is not about the fourteenth, not about now, but about the ninetieth, when the alliance was collapsing, the west could not stop, it was the winners mistake, the real architects of the cold war understood this, which is why kenen wrote we are accepting the balts into nato, and these are sensitive borders for the russians, they were part of their empire 200 years before the first world war, hitler actually forced stalin annex them in 39, then the russians liberated them from the germans, and america sincerely and enthusiastically approved of their joining the soviet union, their. Integration into an antirussian military coalition would be a monstrously shortsighted decision, but cannons article ended dramatically nato expansion is the penalty of all , to what i dedicated my life, to all attempts to find a reasonable understanding between us and the russians, how old i am, how weak i am, how helpless i am, that is, yes, a fatal mistake was made, now we are simply reaping the benefits of the fact that the idea of degol europe from lisbon to vladivostok, the creation of a single machine operating on our resources and the European Market of goods and technologies, there were divisions and the building of defensive blocks against us, but Ksenia Nekrasova analyzed how the world was now in motion, trying to find the fatal balance, because according to how the global west and the global south see these elections and how voting is taking place there at the polling stations in our embassies and consulates, you can see where the real dividing line is as a result, handdrawn posters, banners, provocations at the polls. In australia , a crowd of protesters prepared in advance, clearly hoping that there would be more people willing to join the action, but trying to disrupt the voting, the demonstrators were aggressive. Except maybe your voice , despite the prepared provocations, please show me, there are a very small number of people here who are against, there are many more of us here, thats the queue, so i came to vote for the future of russia, waving ukrainian flags, a protest rally at the sidewalk was built right in the Czech Republic opposite the Russian Embassy in prague, they tried to intimidate voters in riga. Participation in the russian elections, local authorities equated to propaganda of aggressive war, for which in latvia a punishment of up to 6 years in prison is provided, while the procession of latvian nationalists in memory of the ss legionnaires, which took place just before voting day in riga, was, on the contrary, supported. The criminal code of the republic of latvia provides for criminal liability for justifying war, in this case the ukrainian one, which means that voting in russian elections will be equalized by the latvian authorities. Criminal cases against russian citizens, latvia suddenly changed its mind about opening this; no guarantees of immunity, as Russian Diplomats demanded, were ever provided. We assume that many russian citizens who are going to vote are putin supporters. We do not believe in democratic president ial elections. They continued to march regardless, despite pressure from the estonian authorities; hundreds of people took part in the voting. If i dont have the right to vote in estonia, i go where i can vote. I just want to feel like a human being, that i also have some kind of voice in this, on this planet. In the kaliningrad region, mobile Voting Centers were opened for russianspeaking residents of the baltic countries and poland due to the antirussian position of local authorities. Interfered with the elections in moldova, where they even had to temporarily close the only polling station in chisinau after a molotov cocktail flew to the Russian Embassy, while the opening of voting places in transnistria, the moldovan mit called an undermining of its official chisinau cared much less about sovereignty in violation of international law, the rights of russian citizens, at will. Illegal methods of delivering ballots to polling stations in transnistria and their very functioning. We have different versions of how the ballots were delivered to transnistria. Trying to artificially reduce the turnout, the western press announced protest actions on the territory of western countries , pumped up information noise through opposition internet resources with the feed of washington, and calls for russian citizens living abroad should ignore the elections, as stated at the Russian Embassy in the United States even on the eve of the vote, they received threats and were ready for provocations, while. The american authorities refused to ensure the security of mobile voting, as well as to recognize the election results. Russia continues to undermine the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of ukraine through effective elections held in the occupied ukrainian territories. The usa does not recognize and will never recognize the legitimacy of the results of these fictitious elections. The European Parliament called for the Voting Results to be recognized as illegal, even before the elections even began. Especially indicative against this background was the reaction of the voters themselves, despite the threats of complexity that western authorities tried to create at polling stations on all continents from the very morning. Excitement, they voted all day in ethiopia, in mexico a polling station opened on the territory of the Russian Embassy, long lines in cyprus, istanbul, tokyo and thailand, where they even had to extend the work of the polling station and send additional employees with a supply of ballots, crowds of people wanting to vote in china. The main election day abroad is sunday , polling stations are open at consulates in embassies in china, voting is organized in six cities at once, including, of course, beijing, where. They also closely follow the president ial elections and actively participate in voting, for example, now a cossack choir has arrived at the site, which is located in the Chinese Capital at guest performances. Almost 63,000 people who are currently abroad voted early. Elections in this format were held in australia, qatar, turkey, nepal, and burkina faso. There are more than 50 countries in total. Foreigners organized special voting stations in military units in syria. Nuclear power plants built abroad by russian specialists. Ksenia nekrasova, especially for the results of the week. After all, you see, from the point of view of our elections and the reaction to them abroad, it is interesting to focus on what position the china. He didnt just appoint li, the special envoy in charge of beijings shuttle diplomacy on the ukrainian issue, to head the chinese observer mission. Right now beijing is conducting an exercise with us iranians on. Maritime security in the gulf of aman, we are working together on the release of captured ships, and this is important not even from the point of view of combat coordination with the allies, here we definitely need to see how the americans accept the budget, in in which funding for the modernization of their fleet is cut in order to finance it operations around the world, and as the Rend Corporation releases a report, china is challenging American Military supremacy, making it difficult to defend our allies, meaning the chinese fleet, which has become the largest in the world, is hitting home. Already about a new balance of power, about the ways of oil and the ways of money, which is why the americans and the british are so sensitive about our rapprochement with china, and from this they are now rebuilding all their doctrines on how to regain influence, continuing pressure on us and through us on china, and this largely determines the background on which is voting in our embassies in washington and london. Yes, the voting, irat, i must say, is going on and is still going well, and since we are talking about the progress of voting abroad, right now i suggest contacting london. Where our reporter Elizaveta Gerson works. And by the way, it must be said that Kensington Gardens is the street where our embassy in london is located. A polling station is open there today. In recent years, this particular place has become the number one place for all antirussian actions and rallies. Lisa, hello. No, i dont know what the weather is like in london today, but i think it will be especially hot at kensington palace. The queue for the station stretched as much as 2 km. Yes. I would also like to know how politicians and leading media comment on the russian president ial election, or whether Kate Middletons medical history is still more important to them, and by the way, your weather is not very good again. At elections in london , unity of place, time and action is observed, not out of love for ancient greek art, but for security reasons and because of the increased risk of provocation and hacking, so russian citizens living and working in britain can vote. Also in the consulate general building in scotland, but this year , due to the unhealthy atmosphere, it was decided to equip only one polling station in the british capital. In all western countries, due to the expulsion of our diplomats and the closure of diplomatic missions, Holding Elections has become somewhat more difficult, however, the number of countries where russians can vote has not decreased, only decreased. Number of polling stations, but this will not scare our people, i am a russian person, and i feel all this pain, i feel sympathy for all russian people, but this will not affect me, all these conversations , all these negative thoughts are on us, this has always been the case. The dough is on the street in front of the embassy, the street where our embassy is located, like dozens of others, is covered with a barrier and a checkpoint, so the relocants are only shouting today from under the fence, and they even agreed. There is even an idea to use Boris Johnson as a defibrillator, to return him to big politics, or with a deft move swap rishi sunak for pene mardon, a former magicians assistant. This is the kind of electoral news in britain, so it is not surprising that the british are following our electoral process with great interest, especially since england and the United States have for years accused the kremlin of interfering in their own elections or, in britain, interfering in the referendum. On brexit, so it turns out that their island future depends on the situation in russia, on the elections in russia, but nevertheless, in response to all their calls to disrupt the elections, they can only it is bitter to note that the elections were held normally. Thank you, lisa, this was our man in london, lisa gerson, by the way, please, lisa, according to the classics, do not read british newspapers before lunch, especially yellow ones, although choosing between british weather and british lunch, maybe i would prefer reading newspapers, its still more attractive. Its very funny that he was called the new churchill, and it was in this style that he repeated, i promise you nothing but tears and grief, this is war, that is, he drew a clear analogy with the second world war, but now it turns out, that the promise to fight to the last accompanied by loud pr campaigns may no longer work, the Washington Post is already assuring that strikes on russian territory, shelling of the Belgorod Kursk region, instead of undermining Russian Support for the kremlins policies , had the opposite effect, the illconceived pr campaign only motivated russians to fulfill their civic duty. Even those who have never been interested in politics go to vote. Yes, in general, it will be interesting, in the near future, do not switch, be sure to wait for us, moreover, until the closure of the site in the westernmost point of russia, the kaliningrad region, there remains, as we see now, 1 hour 40 minutes and 48 seconds, that is, after this time we will be able to summarize the first results, in general, we will return to the live broadcast in a few minutes, wait for us.
