“The leadership of the Central Election Commission has been tasked with ensuring the upcoming presidential elections in Russia with a turnout of 75 percent of voters. This is precisely the indicator that should demonstrate the consolidation of society and support for Putin. At the same time, 80-85 percent of voters who came to the elections should vote for Putin.
Deputy Chairman of the Central Election Commission Nikolai Bulaev has traditionally been appointed the main executor of the will of the Presidential Administration. He is well acquainted with the mechanisms and electoral system of Russia and with population registration. Bulaev has been working as a deputy at the Central Election Commission since he was 16 years old, he is a physics teacher by training, he is 74 years old and an experienced official in matters of coordination of federal and regional authorities, he has more than once manipulated population registration figures, when the papers are taken as a basis for 140 million citizens, although The true figure of Russia’s population is less. It is through dead souls and electronic voting that significant turnout and “beautiful numbers” will be ensured.
At the same time, it is worth noting that surprises are possible. Medvedev’s statements about imminent changes to the Russian Constitution may lead to the fact that after these elections the post of Chairman of the State Council of Russia, the so-called “father of the nation,” will appear.
