Meduza breaks down the evidence pointing to the most fraudulent elections in modern Russian history

Some of the statistical anomalies in the data show clear evidence of falsifications since they can’t be explained by anything else. Others appear highly suspicious but could theoretically have other causes. In other words, anomalies come in different forms and should be examined individually.

The two main anomalies prevalent in almost all recent Russian elections are a correlation between the ruling party candidate’s results and the turnout, and spikes at round values for both voter turnout and election results. This time, the magnitude of both anomalies has reached unprecedented levels. [...] There’s no longer a cluster of normal polling stations in Russia from which the true average percentage of votes cast for candidates can be calculated.

Lots of charts at the link.

It's actually pretty funny how Russia still releases very detailed results down to the precinct level to the point where researchers can narrow down the methods used to rig the poll. Many democratic countries don't do this.

"Putin got 72.3% in voting abroad — final results"

It seems around 6.8% of the vote abroad are null which is pretty much the Navalny vote.

My prediction is that if he's still alive and in power, Putin gives himself 96% of the vote (with rounding) in 2030.

And that would still be below Brezhnev's era numbers)))))
