election i think after the voting the big picture is clear let me who has been elected a new russian president taking almost sixty four percent of the 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 the show and head of the central election commission has already congratulate yourself on the seventh of may i mean the united nation day lou will witness as torak 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 consensus and. the russians have cast their votes 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 his presidential term without the need for

a second round he's already declared victory thanking voters for this support in front of one hundred thousand people who gathered on the national square outside the kremlin lead into the night after sunday's election to celebrate his win. the action was preceded by b. to complaining and the biggest problem when anti government rallies the country has seen since the time of yat-sen what provoked the heated political debate were the results of the sometimes parliamentary vote which handed a majority of seats to the ruling united russia party leading to fraud accusations and mass protests in response the government promised the last transparent presidential election in russia's history nearly two hundred thousand where cameras were installed in stations across the country the online monitoring system which cost over three hundred million u.s.

dollars allowed anyone anywhere in the world to log on to our website showing oh i broadcast on russians cast in their ballots. so this is this is a word the results look like we have them on the screen and here in the studio of concern here similar political analyst with whom we'll be discussing the results hello we're going to welcome all welcome to the result of the results that we see now they they they fully correspond to the public opinion polls expectations this is mean that we had a clear transparent and fair election is it like clearly what we have to wait a few days you know i can see that they're absolutely the same as it was. directed i mean so you know i mean it really was there one of the focuses of our main opinion poll centers of the result of the liberal side of the fifty seven fifty and man a sense of how we see extremely high results sixty four percent i sink and so it's

was unexpected but your recipe came about and way in a result of this election i mean the recall for him before a storm the second place of mrs you got enough and he won the surplus or profit of 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 the absence of transparency in our world actions i think it's extremely difficult to fly and example of absolutely absolutely and almost transparent election in the world so you can compare with lot of examples of different referee and the elections in other countries for example united states the famous stories florida state and mr bush begin their present lot of examples in the history of united states great britain and so on so strong so that is why of course you can us here that. the last elections. will us elections were absolutely

transparent and honest but we must speak about all of our system because doing this elections there are a lot of new instruments to come through all the selection for example webcams and . put to not only introduce the web cameras birds some say he read like a us style election campaign especially in the last couple of weeks and this helped him get even more than expected did you see like signs of u.s. style campaign yes. because from one you've seen him in person yesterday night vision yes i was finally you know it was for me also because it was a lot of him through but finally i was on hughes and headquarters and i saw him personally but you know. i see of course some. degree of you partly in there we can see the campaign of what it was as you said united states

style because we you know there is such storm all presidents. as k. short present because he was right all big electorate from our left parties like coleman aspired to like fair russia. but on the same time he was radical speakers so called boldness in his article secured from that with twenty five million new jobs and songs and song and we see. all these meetings meeting with his electorate it was like in the united states like big big big star but of course we remember that his rivals in there didn't want to take part in the way they are sitting by the way because you know that in russia we have five candidates and that is says usually two or sometimes three candidates this is what you know i mean i think i think this was a trick i think pointing to use the 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 as oh yes well let's take a break for a second now let's hear how loaded reported in south reacted to his victory. rice yes we have won in an open and fair battle but this wasn't just an election of a president it was a test of political maturity and independence 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 the political provocations and 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 to unite over 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 the selection right in there in the. headquarters of what was said to philly what is you going to say about your question of cold american style because in my experience work on the way. you said of all these degrees i see that we will see the main candidate presence here like you support yesterday on the debate if you will have approximately the same political system and political culture and the music scene when you have been through it not only in the way i want to mind but this and i hope that we will see these changes because you know this elections is not the end of our history it's only the beginning i'm here if you allow me if television viewers allow me i would say that actually we do have this system because this elections were not was not for a communist liberal democrat it was for putin or against putin so these are therefore

. they took the votes of those who were against you know this is some people call russian system well we're sort of all black and white it's it's not a good idea i mean that is today's american system as we see so called since recent political culture when can is will not kill each other and that is where i agree with you a bit because four candidates again split on the same story it was during our parliament election on december ninth that is why i hope that we'll have more serious who are listening to these two party system who i think this this system is is part of the political system created by putin and helps him well as i've said in the beginning of the program he actually we witness we witness a breakthrough in russian history never before in thousands of years of russia we had the supreme leader coming back after being out of prison for four years out of it nor was the view support it was not for hough or for a clan you know who i will years i knew it was

a real come right in though you would say that but for really never. before we had will we had someone with oh yeah and well well well well well but my ideas were simple but this there is not the end the four hour story will go on with the beginning of serious reform of the phone call since only a couple of words about you saw him this night and you saw him here the the the news of him the globe and what was he like was it drinking i mean breaking al gore was he was he kissing people adding robbing people or no you watch and he didn't even poetry and in my opinion in my opinion. he was very emotional through last night and we see for example his face during the same meeting in my opinion of course this election was very specific and very extremely important for putin we can come play on where the only risk is for us president electricity because what what was he like was there champagne. yes yes there was it was the champagne party the second i mean i don't know. when you have some apps out there that show well

they're so so you must say that that he really for him it was really a victory he looked 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 you through it was not true to you and he was very very wary and you can see in the jessica and they sort of 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 putin would have taken if he wasn't the former president the prime minister but just like if it was a verb you like for prosperity him personally and some of his campaign if you have a lot of interests and question that was of concern it was will be there is out of want to move his rivals for example well some people from our story on those it's

very difficult to say because how can we imagine what your who is and you can work around that is your feeling his personal rating of the politician i mean if we disregard his political is true but i agree with this idea that maybe with the help of these meetings after the state the lection when putin saw the real protest against his policy he stood as he was very clear to try to explain to his supporters that we see the real opportunity of this so-called order to aleutian 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 he is a subtle 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 a campaign and we see the result of throttle brought this is

a be the end of the american system which we're talking about just remind the political analyst constantin seaman that he's here in our studio to the spotlight will be back shortly after he takes more break so stay with. us. wealthy british style sun it's not like. the. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy because a record on our team. down the official anti allocation choice an

ipod touch from the i.q. jumps to. life on the good. video on demand. money fuel costs an r.s.s. feed now in the palm of your. question. dot com. welcome back to spotlight on al gore not been just a reminder that my guest on the show today is constantin suman of political analyst and we're talking about the results of the the first unofficial but but these are both probably the results that we will have on the election a lot of reporting has won has won so. you talked about the the the opposition you talked about being sort of on a defensive to those meetings the rallies do you think that in may after the

inauguration what you will have to stay like in the on the defensive trying to be good for four for the opposition. voters nor will he. on the contrary go on the defensive and start and you. like. from a fresh should a fresh face i am so so. the six years will be not so easy for me supports him because as we began to speak about it if we had tried to think about what in a so-called spiritual leader it would be very difficult to have the same level of consideration of his work so you have to consider the changing political reality and that is why. you know the agenda both ecology and there in the comic and gen is very difficult to be held a lot of problems in our requirements of for the secret so that is why i will have a plan for very serious political and economic. solutions. for very very serious

sort i mean for a very serious very serious problem so that is what. came third in all the russian election but in moscow where putin 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 kind of thinks 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 elections then that is an objective reality and 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. do you think people really

voted for perot what are for his program for four for his ideas or didn't vote for a new face a new face what russia needs the first all they wanted for the new feasts and also they have all that against. because we have several million times or a prophet himself said he said i am not. an opposition. to put it out just an alternative yes because also it was the chance for profit of not to take part in the selections and use a nano hierocles and get us now yes ask them that is why their order for almost the product was likely only in kenya the subsequent days but people index it is why against fortune or take who took part in this meeting on bolotnaya square they would try to see three switches more calls. to their expectations so that is why you saw that the majority of people there was not for profit of they was first all

against putin and for changes of political so do you think that is going to become a serious politician in the coming two three five years or rather he as a businessman as a tycoon will convert their relative success into hard currency there is a way because as i said i'm thinking the people are not what and for him that is why i don't think that he can be the good leader for the new store called right by pit but we must understand that we have several millions of people we should want to take part in our politics and which want to see the real leader of possible right party well now let's turn to number two in the presidential race again that is the ground of the communist leader came forward and here is his start 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 with the ruling party

never took a step here elections mean all hands of parties take part in creel action debates but vladimir putin would never showed up. here elections i mean the bureaucracy wants to provide equal opportunities for all the candidates but in these kids it was working in the interests of one candidate a lot. well if i'm not mistaken it was the election in which his communist party was. some yellow i think six six parliamentary elections for the communist party and for a presidential national something like that. well ask it isn't but yes he said it or not yes. and once again he couldn't even be even close he showed nothing nothing. new to what he showed four years ago eight ten years

ago there's that mean the end of the political career of mr zyuganov and maybe they're all communist party you know it's the serious challenge for the electorate of communist party because we must understand what are the expectations of people who are now award for mrs reagan and are they really satisfied that communist party maybe will be on the second plays do next three or four elections mr zyuganov we'll go on the second place during next president elections is enough for them or not because if they really want to see their party you know you know these people are out there around him i mean people really and you will see a war that not a theme i mean a little bit ago the war the voters in the serious questions will them so it's not enough to see that the leader of their party in the parliament on the second place or they really want to see the leader of the communist party as the next president of the i'm the only daughter because i suspect the majority of the people who vote

for communists will be in their late seventy's by the election so if it's it's enough for them to see a communist party. in the parliament on the second place they can see rhys's again the fuse not so old and not so bad pollution but even there they want to see a communist party of the possible either of course they must think of all the new faces the big loser said again you are there for the former had the upper tambour of their russian parliament here's his interview after the election this night. wherever is elected president of the russian federation must initiate the deeper social reforms which will necessarily involve additional and political reforms the new president must start carving crofton 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 we'll start the reforms and you. would you agree that mr miron of hope campaign all his interviews including this one well prove that he actually played a sitting duck for the crowd cheering this election 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 no way because you know we see the very fair result of his party during last election so the state duma during last december way it was not people who are really trust to mr moore on of his so-called protests electorate the people who voted for for russia because they were against united who are saying he lost not to putin but to profit of rather absolutely absolutely this people now their water for pork or what. his campaign was very strange about the way because

they were in parliament company in their mind slogan of the main idea of the main ideal for fair russia was so the struggle against united states all this for all the knew that we are against another class and help rock of didn't say that i'm against mr putin but when he said i will resign it was very clear idea so please you know look at mr ward for me. and we'd ok well actually i'm. absolutely new system so that's was he's an idea. he was ok now now now the last but not least of lead in marriage are enough ski the the the man who once once again appeared in a period in designing clothes during his election which we expected from the let's hear his. to mr putin i congratulate you on the street tree i've been to a polling station and witnessed how lots of people voted for your 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 all the government in the future if you do useful for the country. well you know i think zhirinovsky is still the number one stand up problem. that i will never see our present in the yellow sea well. this year i have an impression i certainly did that juneau skidoo could really run election campaign he was rather gardening the conditions of his retirement now. yesterday he said that he will not retire but we understood that will never get the president now in the real that's how that works better than the other changes since green was i was around when i was. really he was a good public 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 during the cycles and

he'll he'll take part in the next president campaign but we understood that for him it's impossible to increase his results but it will speak about communist party understood that it's a serious party with serious i do ology. a liberal democratic party is a party was in most if you like i want to tell you i had the best pot in the same queue thank you very much both and even just a reminder that my guests on the show today was political analyst constantin simmons and that's it from now from paul spotlight who will be back with more for some comments on what's going on in the outside russia of course comment on the results of the presidential election in this country and tell them to stay at hearts and can take you.

on. the.
