Throwback: When a Russian election had a 107% turnoutVladimir Putin has been in power in Russia for a quarter of a Century.
True, he did have a 4-year-stint as Prime Minister from 2008 to 2012, because the Russian constitution did not allow for a President to sit for three terms in a row at the time.
But to the surprise of pretty much noone, Putin got reelected as Russian President in 2012. That wasn’t the main headline from that election.
That was that Putin got 107% of the votes in a region, Russia had just waged war on.
Eeeh – what?
Danish news media DR and NBC News wrote at the time, that Putin got 107% of the votes in Precinct 451 in the capital Grozny in Chechnya – a region, Russia had just been at war with twice at the time.
