Another sign of rigging is that 2024 election results peaked at round figures, Shukshin wrote. This distribution of results looks like a saw on graphs, which led to the nickname “Putin’s saw.”

No shit, he straight up murdered his only actual political rival.
Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome priest??

Comes down to powerful figures not needing to explicitly order killings, their underlings know implicitly when they have to take action.
The guy polling at 6% was hardly a rival. Several other candidates polled higher.
The polling numbers would be more meaningful if there were credible polls.

By credible you mean in your favor? All polls favoring Biden around here are viewed as credible and accurate. Anything else is seen likewise.
You dropped this.
I especially enjoyed the grammatical errors.
Is ad hom all you got?
By credible you mean in your favor?
Yeah imagine removing a rival that was only actually polling 6%, what a huge threat to your completely legitimate reign…
The 6 other candidates were polling way higher
Too bad putler killed them all.
I’ll stop mocking you the minute your leaders stop killing each other.
Show deaths of other opponents to back up your claim
You are building my case for me…

Guy got 87%.
You can’t get 87% of people to agree on pizza toppings for the nightShit, you can’t get 87% of people to agree they’re all hungry.
The sad thing is that of that bullshit 87% figure were still people who voted for him and far more than should have. There are way too many Putin sycophants in Russia. I realize it doesn’t help that the media is state-controlled, but it’s amazing what he can get away with and still be worshiped by a significant segment of the population.
I guess it’s not that much different from Trump.
(Assuming you’re American)
Lots of Americans seem to think that state media is a bad thing. Lot’s of countries get it right. Especially after it’s first been implemented.
I’d often rather have a government (obviously not Russia, China, or in my case Canada) over some oligarch controlling it. Murdoch hasn’t exactly been doing good things wherever he goesI am American and I have nothing wrong with some of a country’s media being state-run. The problem comes when it is all state-run. That is the issue in Russia. All the media they consume is an outlet of Putin’s government.

“election”
most rigged in russia’s modern history so far
I’m shocked! Shocked to find that election rigging is going on in there.
That election rigging is happening is very clearly not the point of the article.
This is what republicans want for America and they’re one stolen election away from pulling it off.
Doesn’t have to be stolen, it takes one large trip-up by Biden and it’s totally legitimately done.
Fully supporting the genocide in Gaza nearly did it, but he’s now recovering from that luckily.
I feel like the article would’ve been more readable with visual depictions of the vote distributions, instead of just describing them.
I don’t doubt the elections were rigged (mostly in making sure anybody else with a fraction of a chance was imprisoned and murdered before the elections), but the Kyiv Independent might not be the least biased source around.
What! Russia is rigging their elections so Putin continues to be elected president?
NO! Say it ain’t so!
I would love to know what the real figures were.
Could he have won without cheating, or will his ego not even allow a reasonable tally against him?
ITT: Unabashed Putin sympathizers.
Take note and do not listen to a word they say.
Orlly!
