Fresh data from the Central [00:00:55] Election Commission. [00:00:58] Polling stations abroad, citizens of Russia. [00:01:30] unforgettable emotions and impressions for a lifetime. [00:01:32] So, elections, the main [00:01:36] final day. In the eastern [00:01:39] regions, vote counting has already begun, polling stations there [00:01:43] have closed. Central Russia has all of Sunday ahead, until [00:01:46] 80 PM, time to get your vote in, on which the future [00:01:50] of the country depends. Voter turnout in the State Duma elections at this moment [00:01:53] is almost 48%. And the Central Election Commission reported [00:01:57] a terrorist attack by Ukrainian militants in the Kherson region. [00:02:01] Anton Vernitsky with the latest data. So, in [00:02:04] some parts of the country, polling stations have already closed. In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, [00:02:07] Anadyr, Pevek, ballot counting has already begun. [00:02:11] In an hour, polling stations in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk will close, well, in [00:02:14] Moscow, as you understand, the third day of voting is in full swing. [00:02:18] As for the start of work here at the information center of the CEC, the morning [00:02:22] began with a tragic message. Today, September [00:02:26] 20, as a result. [00:02:30] Targeted drone attacks on a [00:02:33] civilian bus in the Kherson region killed two [00:02:37] people, and one of the dead [00:02:40] was our colleague, a member of the precinct election [00:02:44] commission, polling station number [00:02:47] 220 of the Nizhneserginsky [00:02:50] district of the Kherson region, Olga [00:02:53] Petrovna Zemlyanenko, [00:02:56] born in 1966. Olga Petrovna was [00:03:00] a member of the precinct election commission in [00:03:03] 2023. I already [00:03:07] said, now I will repeat again, vile, [00:03:10] cowardly, Bandera freaks [00:03:12] in diapers, [00:03:15] who are afraid to fight [00:03:18] like men, for real, [00:03:21] so they hunt our peaceful people, mostly [00:03:24] women, [00:03:26] children. [00:03:29] I think... my shame will fall on their heads, each of them [00:03:33] will be found. [00:03:36] I ask you to honor the memory with a minute [00:03:38] of silence. [00:03:44] Well, as Ila Ponfilova said, colleagues with strong spirits continue to work, [00:03:48] despite targeted attacks by Ukrainian militants on our border territories, [00:03:51] despite provocations and killings of election commission members. On [00:03:55] September 15, it became known about the death in the Zaporozhye region of the chairman [00:03:59] of the precinct election commission, Elena Ostanina. Vladimir Putin posthumously [00:04:02] awarded her the Order of Courage. On the night of Thursday, a Ukrainian [00:04:06] drone flew into the house of Viktoria Maksimova, another employee [00:04:09] of the election commission. Viktoria herself was injured, and her husband and [00:04:13] child were injured, but I repeat, despite all this, voting in our [00:04:17] new regions is very active, because elections to the State Duma are being held [00:04:20] here for the first time. Thus, in the Zaporozhye region, turnout at this hour is [00:04:24] 73%, in the Kherson region - 65%, [00:04:27] in the Luhansk People's Republic - 67%. [00:04:34] 81%. It is clear that all this is taking into account [00:04:37] early voting, which was held due to ongoing shelling here [00:04:41] since August 28. If we talk about the overall voter turnout at [00:04:45] polling stations across the country, it has already approached [00:04:47] 46%. Still, the three days of voting, [00:04:51] the possibility of electronic distance voting [00:04:54] via phone or computer, as I just [00:04:58] voted. [00:05:17] in Russia in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia in 2024, they were held [00:05:20] under harsh pressure from local authorities, when in fact our citizens [00:05:24] were hindered from voting, they were blocked from going to [00:05:27] polling stations under various pretexts, checking documents, intimidating, it was [00:05:31] decided to organize polling stations at border [00:05:34] crossings in our territories, and this proved effective, [00:05:37] hundreds of voters came and are coming today [00:05:40] to vote here. with great respect and [00:05:44] attention to voters, these [00:05:47] polling stations were organized, even to the point that in [00:05:51] mobile buses, they even set up mini-buffets, because it was not so easy [00:05:55] for people to get there. In the territory of the Kaliningrad region [00:05:58] there are four such points in the Leningrad [00:06:02] region, in the city of Uam, Kingisepp [00:06:06] district, a specially formed polling station and an equipped [00:06:09] polling room in the Pskov region. Whole families came [00:06:12] to such polling stations from [00:06:32] the Czech Republic and from Germany, well, and we continue to follow [00:06:36] the course of voting here at the Central Election Commission. Anton [00:06:40] Vernitsky, Channel One. [00:06:43] Russia is voting actively, I remind you, in the voter lists in our country, according [00:06:46] to the CEC, there are over 111 million [00:06:49] people. This is my first vote, you need [00:06:52] to participate in the life of the country you live in. We [00:06:55] choose our future, in whose [00:06:58] hands, and we trust our authorities, so we [00:07:02] go and make our choice consciously, and [00:07:05] we expect the best. I believe that every citizen of Russia [00:07:08] should make the right choice, as this concerns [00:07:12] his life and [00:07:16] the future of our Donbass region. Finally, it is part of Russia, we [00:07:20] have waited for this for so long. In [00:07:22] the capital region, the famous saxophonist Igor Butman voted. Grandmaster [00:07:26] Sergey Karyakin also came to the polling station in Moscow [00:07:29] with his family, managing to vote and conduct a chess [00:07:33] master class. [00:07:35] The leaders of three of our regions are electing local [00:07:38] parliaments. [00:07:42] The candidate put forward by Vladimir Putin was unanimously elected to this post [00:07:46] Rashid Timrezov, the current head. Deputies will also [00:07:49] elect the heads of regions in South Ossetia, Alania and in [00:07:52] Dagestan. Let me remind you that in eight of our other regions, direct [00:07:56] elections are being held for citizens of our entire country. Hundreds of polling [00:08:00] stations were organized abroad, in more than [00:08:03] 150 countries, our citizens vote in Belarus, Minsk and [00:08:07] a number of other cities. In Kyrgyzstan, Transnistria, [00:08:11] 17 polling stations are open, more than anywhere else in Tiraspol, where there were queues, [00:08:14] tens of thousands of people will take part in the voting, people [00:08:18] come to make their choice in Bulgaria. Australia, [00:08:21] the Consulate General in Sydney and the Embassy in Canberra, the Korean [00:08:25] People's Democratic Republic, South [00:08:28] Korea, Seoul and Busan. Indonesia, among those who vote, [00:08:32] there are many tourists. Japan, the polling station was opened in [00:08:34] the Zorge school at the embassy. [00:08:38] In New Zealand, one of the first to vote was our [00:08:41] ambassador. Also Cambodia, Laos, Iran and [00:08:44] many other states. Germany complicated the process for Russians. [00:08:48] There is only a polling station at the embassy in Berlin, there is [00:08:51] a queue of those wishing to cast their vote. Right before the elections, [00:08:55] the authorities closed the Consulate General in Bonn. They knew [00:08:58] perfectly well that there were more than 200,000 citizens of our [00:09:01] country registered at the consulate there. [00:09:04] I think I'll be one of the first, but 50 people were already [00:09:08] in front of me anyway. In the morning with a child, tell me why it's important [00:09:11] for you to come here early on Sunday? We care about the future of our [00:09:14] country, did you stand in line for a long time? No, thankfully, they let me in with [00:09:18] the child, it's very great, [00:09:21] today Germans themselves are voting in Germany, elections to local parliaments, in [00:09:24] the federal states of Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and this is a harsh [00:09:27] test for the current [00:09:30] government, an indicator of the citizens' attitude towards the country's political course and [00:09:34] level of trust, and it, to put it mildly, is not high, [00:09:38] this became obvious after the elections in Saxony-Anhalt with humiliating results for... [00:09:52] while about 44% for the opposition [00:09:54] Alternative for Germany, which advocates for mutually beneficial cooperation with our [00:09:57] country. And today's elections are receiving the closest attention. [00:10:01] German experts are confident that Merz's political [00:10:04] future is at stake. As a poll conducted by the Forsa sociological [00:10:08] service showed, now only 10% of respondents [00:10:11] positively evaluate the Chancellor's work, this is [00:10:14] an anti-record. [00:10:17] Our army last night delivered a powerful blow to military-industrial facilities and [00:10:21] the logistics infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A large fire in Boyarka near Kyiv. [00:10:25] Warehouses of the Firepoint enterprise are burning. According to intelligence, [00:10:28] drone spare parts and other military property were stored there. [00:10:32] A series of strikes on a defense factory in the vicinity of Zaporozhye.

Moscow and [00:11:19] Tskhinval cooperate in a wide variety of areas, interacting in [00:11:23] the interests of strengthening regional security and stability, [00:11:26] joint work will continue.

Our correspondent, [00:12:45] Dalmira Beryakova, went on the journey with a large group. [00:12:47] Layout of the Mayatsk fortress of the medieval [00:12:51] Khazar Khaganate, which fell during the campaign of Prince Svyatoslav. Guests [00:12:55] carefully study it, tools related to that period interested [00:12:59] a student from the Dominican Republic. Robinson is fond [00:13:02] of history and has already been to Russia.

Divnogorye is a unique place in the Voronezh region, the bizarre shapes [00:13:34] of the rocks combined with white chalk roads make these [00:13:37] landscapes fantastic. It is also [00:13:40] a sacred place, which was told to guests, showing them the temple in honor of the Sicilian and [00:13:43] Divnogorsk Icon of the Mother of God, a church carved into the chalk cliffs, [00:13:47] permeated with narrow passages, through which monks [00:13:50] moved.
