voting the big picture is clear letting the public know has been elected the new russian president taking almost sixty four percent of the third is our very own likely to change as this is based on more than ninety nine percent of the ballots cast by the moment you're watching this show and head of the central election commission has already congratulate itself on the seventh of may i mean the integration day we will witness has toric all events in russia's history never before has this country seen a comeback of a supreme leader my guest to talk about this is political analyst because that is the simplest. the russians have cast the bunch to decide on the country's next president according to official figures prime minister vladimir putin has secured sixty four percent of the vote which means he wins he third presidential term though only for a second round he's already declared victory thinking voters for their support in

front of one hundred thousand people who gathered on one yes and they're square outside the kremlin was leading to the night after sunday's election to celebrate his win. the action was preceded by between campaigning and the biggest pro and anti-government rallies the country has seen since the time of yeltsin what provoked and he did political debate were the results of december's parliamentary vote which a majority of seats in the ruling united russia party needed to fruiting accusations and mass protests in response to government promised the most transparent presidential election in russia's history nearly two hundred thousand were cameras were installed in stations across the country the online monitoring system which cost over three hundred million u.s. dollars allowed only one anywhere in the world to log on to our website showing

a live broadcast of russians cast in their ballots. so this is this is the world the results look like we have them on the screen and here in the studio of consent in similar political analyst with whom we will be discussing the result is going to welcome the local officials well as a result of the results that we see now really they fully correspond to the public opinion polls expectations doesn't mean that we had a clear transparent and fair election is it like clearly what we have to wait on so you know i can see that their absolute are the same as it was their acted i mean so you know i merely was there one of the focus of our main opinion poll centers are the result of what has to be approximately fifty seven fifty and one percent so we see extremely high results sixty four percent i think and so it's all unexpected

what you were speaking about may in a result of this election i mean the replay of what in the first door the second place of mrs you got enough and even the surplus of profit off it was really expected so that is why in this part of your own. and then he says i can agree with you but of course in my opinion when he said about one hundred percent something and tendency in our world actions i think it's extremely difficult to fly and example of absolutely absolutely almost transparent election in the world so you can compare always a lot of examples of different three hundred elections in other countries for example united states the famous stories florida state when mr bush became the president of the for examples in the history of united states great britain source or strong so that is why of course you can us here the last elections. the last election the absolutely transparent and honest but we must speak of our will

lose some of our system because due in this election so there are a lot of new instruments to control the selector for example where comes and. puts you not only introduce the word cameras words some say he read like a u.s. style election campaign especially in the last couple of weeks had this helped him get even more than expected did you see like signs of u.s. style in important campaign yes. because from one you've seen him in person yesterday night here so i was finally you know it was for me also. because a lot of him through but finally i was on he's a headquarters and i saw him personally but you know all. i see are full sun. agree with you partly that we can see the company of which it was as you said united states style because we you know there is such storm

all presidents. and there's casual present because he was trying to take electorate from our well left but it's like communist party like fair russia. but on the same time he was trying to speak his so-called boldness square in his article secure also with twenty five million new jobs and so on so and so on and we see all these meetings meeting with he's an electorate it was like in united states like big big big style but of course we remember that his rivals where human they're going to want to take part in the way that in what way because you know that in russia we are five candidates in united states usually two or sometimes three candid i think is what you know i mean i think i think this was a trick i think put in the years no law that allows him to take part and to send his representative but by not taking part in the debate he wanted to show that he

was special that he was above the other four years out there so yourself let's take a break for a second now let's hear how lot of reporting himself reacted to his victory. race yes we have one in an open and fair battle but this wasn't just an election of the president it was a test of political maturity in independents and we have shown that you know nobody can impose anything on us we have shown our people who are able to tell the desire for renewal from political probably cations aimed at ruining the russian state and usurping power we have won with the support of the absolute majority of voters it's a clean victory we will work honestly and hard we will be successful and we call on everyone so united in the interests of our people and our country yeah i did promise you we would win. and we have won.

oh so here you are you spent part of this part of this election night in there in the. headquarters are there to tell us a couple wait what is you're going to say about your question of health american style because in my experience working the way. you said of all these degrees i see that we will see the main candidate to our presence like we said yesterday on the debate if we will have approximately the same political system and political culture in the united sooner i've been through it not only in the way i want to mend but this and i hope that we will see these changes because you know this election's he's not the end of our history it's old and you begin here if you allow me if television viewers hello me i would say that actually we do have this system because this election is what not was not for a communist liberal democrat it was for important or against putin so these are

therefore. they took the votes of those who were against you know the system is typical rational system when we have yes so-called black and the way it is it's not a good idea i mean a united states american system as we see so-called centuries to now because our culture when can is will not kill each other and this is where i agree with you that we care for candidates against the same story it was during our parliament election on december seventh that is why i will that we will have more serious who are loose and who who party system who i think this this system is is part of the political system created by putin helps him when well as i've said in the beginning of the program he actually we witnessed we witness a breakthrough in russian history never before in foundations years of russia we had the supreme leader coming back after being out of prison for four years out of the north was a very supportive was not for how far for a plan you know or do i will yes i knew it was a real come but i know you will say that but formally never. before we had we will

we had settled with oh yeah well well well well well my ideas were simple but this there is no out of the air and the four hour story will tell all of the beginning of serious reform of our political system a couple of words about whom you saw him this night you saw him here the news of him neglected and what was he like was he drinking i mean drinking alcohol was he was he kissing people having. more know your should get even given how we treat it in my opinion in my opinion. it was a very emotional room last night and we see for example his face during this meeting in my opinion of course this elections was very specific and very extremely important for pork and we can come where maybe only risk is for us to present a lecture series one of the like was there champagne. yes yes there was it was a champagne party the second i don't know something. we may have some after after the show well they're so so you must say that that he really for him it was really

a victory he looks of so like somebody who won but it was like seeing it wasn't routine for. you and. i saw that for him it was very emotional victory was not only to you it was a very very very because. and i saw that it's like. after maybe serious serious fight. you know the question put to me say that people who voted for putin voted for stability not for him but just for stability instead of a new revolution or whatever how many votes do you think put it would have taken if he if he wasn't the former president the prime minister would just like it if it was a very like not for profit of him personally and some of his campaign and it got a lot of interest in questions it was only you can say what will be there is out of it what you move his rivals for example well some people from marshall reynolds it's very difficult to say because karl can we imagine what your who is and you can

what i meant is your feeling his personal rating as a politician i mean if we disregard his political is true but i agree with this idea that maybe it was a help of this need and after the state duma election when putin saw the real protests against his policy he stood as he was very clear to try to explain to a few supporters that we see the real opportunity of this so-called what is your usual and we see the real of the increase of the increase of his supporters maybe the reason of the presence of his supporters during this elections but for me so difficult to say what will be the level of hugh's a support but it's very interesting one detail that you were speaking about his rivals we see that the results of three candidates were less than the result of their practice during last year they do i complain and we see the result of this is a be the end of this political system which we're talking about just rumors that

political analyst constantin seaman who is seriously our studio today was like will be very shrewdly out to take small break so stay with. us. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations that we are. and the shadow is on protein hard all over. the early twenty first century military bases a network of military bases all around the forms of illegal empire that the united states is trying to build that's astonishing most americans have no idea there are

more than a quarter of a million or more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around and we don't have power bases of america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean bases we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in in cross our bases of i think of the noises our north is it doesn't bother us at all because there are all bases where for all the people it's almost like a cancer here for this field a day since the into world war two the spaces i've been. working here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. because since many of thing else you get everything you needed.

in russia would be soon which bryson if you newly bought sound from feinstein question. these friends starts on t.v. dot com. welcome back to spotlight on our nova just a reminder that my guest on the show today is constrained in similar for. little analyst are we talking about the results the the first unofficial but but these are well probably the results that we'll have on the election let me put in has one has one so. you talked about the opposition you talked about putting being sort of on the defensive to those meetings the rallies do you think that in

me after the inauguration putin will have to stay like him on the defensive trying to be good for four for the opposition. voters or will he. and the country go on an offensive and start and you like from a from a fresh fresh page i just saw this six years will be a not so easy for me supports him because as we began to speak about it here if we're trying to think about when a so-called casual a leader it will be very difficult for the same level of consolidation of his work so you have to consider the changing political reality and that is what. he wants you know the agenda both ecology and then economic engine is very difficult to tell a lot of problems in our economy and some thought the superstore that is right will

have a plan for very serious political and economic. solutions. for very very serious sort i mean for very serious very serious problem so well. came third in all russian election but in moscow we are quoting we got less than fifty percent profit of what more than twenty which is a great success for a political dead you let's hear what we hope rock out of things about the elections and the results. the problem is not whether i'm personally disappointed or not it's all citizens who decide if they decide there have been no critical violations during the last. and then that is an objective reality it would have been better for the country there had been a second round but again it's not up to me and now with the government basically a branch of the kremlin i am not interested in working in such a government now i see another challenge i am going to build a new political party what. do you think people really

voted for prop one are for his program for for for for his ideas or did they vote for a new three a new face what russia needs the first of all their water for the new phrase and also they have all that against. because we have several in the same sort of prophet himself said he said i am not. i'm not position to put in i'm just an alternative. because also it was the chance for proper if not a big part of the selections and they said no no no no iraq is in gaza yes ask me complete but then that is why there are a lot of rumors that broke off was likely only in kenya was something like this but people in big cities why didn't they call took part in this meeting on bolotnaya square they were trying to see three switches more calls. to their expectations so that is why this lord of the majority of people they wanted not for profit of they

want to first of all against what and for changes of political so do you think that prominent is going to become a serious politician in the coming two three five used or rather he as a businessman as a tycoon will convert their relative success into hard currency that is why because as i said i'm thinking the people are not taught and for him that is why i don't think that he can be the good leader for the youth or called right party but we must understand that we have several millions of people wish one could take part in our politics and wish want to see the real leader of possible right buddy. well now let's turn to number two in the presidential race again that is the god of the communist leader came third and here's his thoughts about the elections and the results. of. this election was neither fear nor legitimate fear elections mean a fear dialogue between the power party and the opposition but the ruling party

never took this step and fair elections mean all heads of parties take part in korea lection the big it's bloody reporter never showed up. here elections mean a bureaucracy works to provide equal opportunities for all the candidates but in this case it was working in the interests of one candidate alone. but. if i'm not mistaken it was the election in which this communist party was. for some yeah well i think six six parliamentary elections for the communist party and for a presidential national something like that well ask it didn't look but yes yes said it or not yes. and once again he couldn't even be even close he he showed nothing nothing. new to what he showed four years ago eight ten

years ago those that mean the end of the political career of mr zyuganov and maybe the whole communist party you know it's the serious challenge for the electorate of communist party because we must understand what the expectations of people who are now award for mrs reagan of either really satisfied the communist party and we have you will be on the second plays unum next three or four elections and mr zyuganov will be on the second place during next president pollutions enough for them or not because if they really want to see their party you don't know these people are out there around him i mean people wrote in the war their team of not the team i mean a little is going to live all those voters is a serious questions with them so it's not enough to see it believe of their party in the parliament on the second place or they really want to see belittle the common despite it as the next president of the guy says well maybe the lead dog

because i suspect the majority of the people who go to communists will be in their late seventy's by the clutch so if it's it's enough for them to see a communist party. in the parliament on the second place they can see this is a girl of his not so old not political but if they really want to see communist party of the possible either of course they must think of all the new phrases the big loser said again you are both the former had the upper chamber are the russian parliament here's his interview after the election his night. wherever is elected president of the russian federation must initiate the deeper social reforms which will necessarily involve additional and political reforms the president must start cracking crush and seriously if all this is not done will face hard times you know i'm sure this new president will not hold on until their little sister and the country star and the country badly needs to change social security

must be provided for the majority of the people all this while absolutely positive that the new president will start the reforms. would you agree that mr miron of whole campaign all his interviews including this well prove that he actually played the sitting directly ensuring these elections what the politicians who would have said i will resign if you elect me stand any chance anywhere in the world but this idea was absolutely clear way because you know we see the video a result of his party during last elections to the state duma during last december why it was not people who i really trust or mr muir one of its so-called protestant electorate the people rewarded for fair us because they were against united he was saying he lost not to put in but to profit of rather than. this people now their water for what i absolutely agree with you that his campaign was very strange about

the way because you are in parliament camp in the main slogan of the main idea of the main ideal for fair russia was for the struggle against united russia all this for all the knew that we are against another plus the help of didn't say that i am against mr putin but when he said i will resign it was very clear idea so please you really look there's a lot disco award for me. and we will have elections we are absolutely new system so that's was he's an idea. he lost ok now now now the last but not least have landed measure in ascii the the the man who once once again appeared in a period in designer clothes during this election which we expected from the let's hear his. dear mr putin i congratulate you on a strict tree i've been to a polling station and witnessed how lots of people voted for years i did not doubt for

a second that you would win i got what i got but i hope that some elements of my election program will be considered by you or the government in the future if you deem it useful for the country but. you know i think sure enough skill is still the number one stand up politician. that i will never see our present in yellow suits really well. this year have an impression i certainly did that juneau ski didn't really run an election campaign he was rather bargaining the conditions of his retirement now. yesterday he said that he will not retire but we understood that he will never be the president now in the real that's better than the other to think through he's always greener and i was around when i was. really he is a good public politically it's not a secret but the question is now i see of course he reached his limit so maybe he'll be in our parliament during next election or maybe do in two cycles and hugh

book will take part in the next present company but we understood that for him it's impossible to increase his results but you were speaking about communist party when just so that it's a serious party was serious. the liberal democratic party is about was in office that you and i so we wanted to have the best part and then i think you thank you very much because then didn't just bear in mind that my guests on the show today was political analyst constantine seaman and that's it for now from all of the spotlight and we'll be back with more for us and comment on what's going on in from outside russia of course comments on the results of the presidential election in this country until then they are to continue. the the fight

.

all.
