[00:00:00] Your voice is Russia's strength.
[00:00:29] Hello. I'm Olga Belova, and my colleagues and I will tell you about the main events in
[00:00:33] the country and the world over the past 7 days. Everything you need to
[00:00:36] know to understand what, why and how things are happening
[00:00:40] around us.
[00:00:44] The country is making its choice. The voting is quite
[00:00:47] lively. The final day of the big vote. Your
[00:00:51] choice and will will once again show that
[00:00:54] our fighters have millions of people behind them. From
[00:00:57] Kamchatka to Kaliningrad, in impassable taiga, at sea, and
[00:01:00] even on other continents, you can cast your vote in the State Duma elections
[00:01:04] anywhere in the world. 111 million
[00:01:08] Russians are determining the future of the country. About the progress of the three-day voting,
[00:01:12] about those who have made their choice, and about those who are trying to prevent this choice.
[00:01:15] Stanislav Uvaschenko with the latest
[00:01:18] information.
[00:01:21] How are the elections going in the new regions and border
[00:01:24] territories? We are from the border, we have already experienced
[00:01:27] many difficulties, but this has not broken us. Together with all
[00:01:30] of Russia, deputies are elected where shots and air raid sirens are heard.
[00:01:34] Why are enemy drones powerless when a large country votes, and how
[00:01:38] is the security of the election process ensured? Everything that is not visible to the majority
[00:01:42] in the report by Maxim Krosotkin.
[00:01:45] Respect for traditions and new unique models of weapons.

[00:01:53] It is important to develop all positive trends in the military-industrial complex, and ensure its
[00:01:57] stable operation. Russian gunsmiths celebrate
[00:02:00] a professional holiday. This protects against shrapnel, from bullets, how
[00:02:03] the experience of combat operations changes the appearance of new weapons, what is more important
[00:02:07] for a modern gunsmith, the Kalashnikov school or knowledge of
[00:02:11] neural networks. A new faculty of artificial intelligence was opened at the Mozhaisk
[00:02:14] Academy, and how this
[00:02:17] new development, an armored car, will help
[00:02:20] special operation fighters, will be told by Diana
[00:02:22] Serazi. The Old World is cracking at the
[00:02:26] seams.
[00:03:01] The special services of NATO states informed national authorities about
[00:03:05] the absence of even the slightest evidence of Russia's
[00:03:08] involvement, but the Russian House in Berlin is still closed, the consulate in
[00:03:11] Bonn
[00:03:12] is closed,
[00:03:17] we are leaving Germany with our heads held
[00:03:20] high, we have done our duty. Where will
[00:03:24] Russophobia lead the Germans next? In Germany, hospitals began preparing for war with
[00:03:28] Russia.
[00:03:30] Bribes, protection rackets, call centers, escape from the country, a new episode
[00:03:34] of the detective series from NASAB starring

[00:03:40] accomplices built the largest network of fraudulent call centers
[00:03:44] in Europe, how many Europeans became victims
[00:03:47] of Kyiv swindlers, when will the hour of reckoning
[00:03:50] strike for Zelensky's regime, Konstantin Hertsev
[00:03:53] will tell. And what does his former press secretary

[00:04:59] country to wake up.

[00:09:04] So, the final unified voting day is coming
[00:09:08] to an end. Final unified, such a strange construction, it seems,
[00:09:11] but... it's simple: unified because it's at the same time across the country, but the
[00:09:15] voting lasts more than one day for people's convenience, so they can
[00:09:19] choose the time and day to go to the polling station
[00:09:22] that is most comfortable. And today,
[00:09:25] polling stations across the country opened exactly at 8:00
[00:09:29] AM local time in all regions and will close
[00:09:32] also at 8:00 PM. Of course, the Far East,
[00:09:36] Siberia, and the Urals were ahead of us, polling stations there have already closed, and
[00:09:40] votes are being counted. Less than 2 hours remain until
[00:09:43] polling stations close in Moscow and Central Russia. Well,
[00:09:46] our westernmost part of the country, Kaliningrad
[00:09:50] region, will complete this marathon. But if we are still
[00:09:52] talking about the whole country now, then even without
[00:09:56] waiting for the election results, we can say that people are maximally active. Even
[00:09:59] before the start of voting, sociologists recorded
[00:10:02] the highest interest in these elections, and this
[00:10:05] is understandable. Well, first, simultaneously with the elections to
[00:10:08] the State Duma, 50 regional, almost
[00:10:11] 2 municipal companies are taking place. But also,
[00:10:14] and most importantly, these elections are being held in an atmosphere
[00:10:18] of unprecedented pressure on us from the West,
[00:10:22] in the conditions of a special operation and military actions against us
[00:10:26] by NATO forces. Tonight, in
[00:10:29] Moscow and the region, one of the most massive attacks by
[00:10:32] enemy drones was repelled. On the far and near frontiers,
[00:10:36] more than 1,600
[00:10:39] UAVs were repelled, of which 450 were approaching
[00:10:43] Moscow. The goal, of course, was to disrupt
[00:10:46] the State Duma elections. Well, the war against us is not
[00:10:50] only going on on the battlefield now, an information war is in full swing. The fact that we
[00:10:54] are not bending. And we cannot be intimidated by terrorist acts or sabotage,
[00:10:57] the West is incredibly annoyed. All
[00:11:01] the forces and resources of the West have been thrown
[00:11:04] into disrupting the voting, putting pressure on voters and commission members
[00:11:08] for the past few weeks. Our Foreign Intelligence Service warned
[00:11:11] about this long before the start of voting. And
[00:11:14] in the last few days alone, more than a million
[00:11:17] DDoS attacks were recorded on the servers
[00:11:20] of our Central Election Commission. But our electronic border is
[00:11:23] locked. And people cannot be intimidated,
[00:11:27] especially since this year we have a new category
[00:11:30] of candidates and voters, these are
[00:11:33] participants and veterans of the SVO. Many
[00:11:36] came to the polling stations today in military uniform with orders and
[00:11:40] medals. When such people are nearby, nothing is
[00:11:44] scary. And we will find out all the latest information on the progress of voting from
[00:11:47] our observer Stanislav Ivashchenko, he is with us live from
[00:11:51] the Central Election Commission. Stanislav, well, what, we are on the home
[00:11:54] stretch, what do they say in the CEC, what is the turnout
[00:11:57] across the country by this hour?
[00:12:00] Olga, the latest data was announced at a recent briefing by the head
[00:12:03] of the CEC. So, it can already be said for sure that the turnout in the elections across
[00:12:07] the country exceeded the turnout of five years ago, the number of
[00:12:10] voters exceeded 55%. But this
[00:12:13] indicator is growing and will be updated in real time until all polling stations close
[00:12:17] in Moscow, in the westernmost region of Russia, Kaliningrad
[00:12:20] region, and abroad. External pressure is felt all days.
[00:12:55] very high, these are already advanced, and these have already applied
[00:12:59] artificial intelligence well, attackers
[00:13:02] used massive DDoS attacks with high
[00:13:05] capacity, along with attacks on
[00:13:09] web servers, voting infrastructure, and
[00:13:12] attempts were made at targeted attacks on the
[00:13:15] telecommunications infrastructure of the Russian
[00:13:19] Federation as a whole. The attacks were carried out mainly from
[00:13:22] abroad, mainly, and...
[00:13:25] our colleagues, of course,
[00:13:28] blocked it as best they could. Well, just imagine
[00:13:32] yourself, where do they come from? Great Britain,
[00:13:35] Ukraine, Brazil, Indonesia, even from India,
[00:13:39] they got it, yes, even from India, yes, traffic was also observed with
[00:13:42] spoofed Russian
[00:13:45] IP addresses.
[00:13:49] Information security specialists are working with the attacks. To
[00:13:52] ensure stability, a protection system is used.
[00:13:55] In addition, since yesterday, the most massive drone attack was repelled.
[00:13:59] Over 1,600 UAVs were repelled at all borders,
[00:14:02] 450 of them approaching
[00:14:06] Moscow. By the way, in the capital, this did not frighten anyone, over 50%
[00:14:09] of Muscovites have already voted. And the head of the CEC summed it up like this: the more
[00:14:13] they press us, the stronger we become. So, the three-day election marathon
[00:14:16] is on the home stretch, voting has already ended in the easternmost regions, in
[00:14:20] Siberia and the Urals, votes are also being counted. The staff
[00:14:24] of the local election commissions have a lot of work, but
[00:14:28] there is a whole night ahead, here in real time, tens of thousands
[00:14:31] of polling stations, footage from surveillance cameras is broadcast
[00:14:34] from there, some windows periodically go dark, which means
[00:14:38] the voting is over there. I remind you, this is the first voting in the State Duma elections, since the beginning
[00:14:42] of the SVO, for the first time, participants of the special operation became candidates for
[00:14:45] deputies. Some vote without leaving their service, seven heroes vote in the rear. About
[00:14:49] what the 3 days of elections were remembered for, who is not
[00:14:53] allowed to these elections for what reason, who and how tried and is still trying
[00:14:57] even now to disrupt the voting, and who was not
[00:15:00] hindered by this at all, watch in our report.
[00:15:14] Braiding the Russian tricolor into her younger daughter's braids,
[00:15:17] Victoria Burkhetyeva prepares her children, without any
[00:15:20] exaggeration, for one of the most important events for their
[00:15:24] family, just as in the winged phrase from a Soviet film, "The exam
[00:15:27] is always a holiday for me." The Burkhetyevs pass this exam perfectly
[00:15:31] every 5 years on the single voting day.
[00:15:35] My husband is a patriot.
[00:15:39] and as soon as elections came, we all
[00:15:42] had to be in
[00:15:45] full dress, we had to vote, for us it was
[00:15:48] really, you know, a kind of holiday, a family
[00:15:51] tradition in which, by the way, there are nine children, is now preserved by mother
[00:15:55] Victoria, the father is a knight of the Order of Courage, a participant
[00:15:58] of the special operation, his children prepared a performance for this day to
[00:16:02] the poems of the poet, veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Oleg
[00:16:05] Milyavsky, this is both... a mood and a call
[00:16:09] to others to reflect on what future the country
[00:16:12] chooses. Love
[00:16:16] Russia,
[00:16:20] Russia, which I
[00:16:24] defended.
[00:16:28] The lyrical digression is a reason to think about what Russians
[00:16:31] are living for now, and what choice they are making,
[00:16:34] 111.37.
[00:17:07] simply, now it's somehow more conscious, the geopolitical situation is not very
[00:17:11] simple in the world, our country takes
[00:17:14] direct part in it, therefore,
[00:17:18] gradually, gradually, gradually, conscious results come. We cannot stand aside
[00:17:21] and should not stand aside when such important
[00:17:25] events are happening. And this is the most reliable rear for those
[00:17:29] who defend the country. This year, political parties
[00:17:32] for the first time nominated participants and veterans of
[00:17:35] the SVO for the State Duma elections. In general.
[00:19:07] direct voting, it unites people, sets
[00:19:11] the course, and gives them the very support to feel
[00:19:14] that they are not forgotten, they are supported here, they
[00:19:17] are waited for here. First of all, it is about responsibility and
[00:19:21] the contribution of everyone to strengthening the country. This is the meaning
[00:19:25] of the unity of the people, Vladimir Putin noted in his address to the citizens
[00:19:28] of the country. Such a large-scale campaign is being carried out in
[00:19:32] the conditions of a special military operation. I am confident that
[00:19:36] our soldiers and officers, who are
[00:19:39] currently performing difficult combat work, will take
[00:19:43] the most active part in the voting. Their courage
[00:19:46] and loyalty to the fatherland are an example for the whole
[00:19:50] country. Your choice and will will again
[00:19:52] show that millions of people are behind
[00:19:56] our soldiers, that we are a united people,
[00:19:59] united by common values, historical
[00:20:02] memory, and love for our homeland. However, such
[00:20:05] unity irritates our opponents.
[00:20:09] Ukraine is aimed at splitting Russian society, this is especially
[00:20:12] noticeable during the voting days. The President spoke about this on Friday at a meeting
[00:20:16] of the military-industrial commission. The actions of
[00:20:19] the so-called democratic countries are strikingly
[00:20:22] paradoxical. Kyiv itself shelved the issue of holding
[00:20:25] its own elections, but eagerly seeks to disrupt
[00:20:28] the expression of the will of Russians. Well,
[00:20:31] how can the current regime in Ukraine protect
[00:20:35] democracy when it has already long degenerated?
[00:20:39] And no one talks about it, power
[00:20:41] has been usurped by a handful of embezzlers,
[00:20:44] corrupt officials who need war in order
[00:20:48] to stay in power without elections, and
[00:20:51] this thoroughly corrupt regime, is
[00:20:54] it the main defender of democracy in
[00:20:58] Europe? Sounds strange,
[00:21:02] and the Ukrainian leadership is not in a hurry to hold elections, as
[00:21:05] you know, but they are trying to hinder us,
[00:21:08] they won't succeed in hindering us anymore, voting is on the home stretch,
[00:21:12] across Russia, 90,000 polling stations are open,
[00:21:15] since the end of August, voting has been taking place in the most
[00:21:18] remote areas, more than 230,000 people cast
[00:21:22] their votes there, another 3,100 on ships at
[00:21:25] sea. Ballots are delivered by helicopters to Sakhalin and
[00:21:29] the Kuril Islands, by boats along rivers, through the Taiga
[00:21:32] to the Far North to reindeer herders' camps. Every
[00:21:36] voice is important. Today we completed a two-day
[00:21:38] aerial survey of reindeer herders, we have five voters who have
[00:21:42] cast their votes, along with yesterday, a total of
[00:21:46] 22 voters have cast their votes in this
[00:21:49] direction. Come, we have a holiday in our souls. For the first time,
[00:21:52] the CEC conducted an experiment on electronic voting using
[00:21:56] a low-orbit satellite constellation. This is how they voted in one
[00:21:59] of the villages in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. It is possible to cast your vote
[00:22:02] remotely in thirty-three regions of Russia. Applications for
[00:22:06] online voting were submitted by 4 million people, more than
[00:22:10] 3 million exercised their right. A novelty
[00:22:13] of the domestic system is a Russian development, the third generation
[00:22:17] electronic voting terminal. You can make your choice here in just
[00:22:21] 20 seconds. That's right, hello, that's right, please show your documents,
[00:22:25] uh-huh, thank you, you can scan them,
[00:22:27] we attach it,
[00:22:29] at this moment, scanning is taking place, click next and you see, the screen
[00:22:33] and glass darken, this is done for the confidentiality of the process, confirm your
[00:22:37] data, we confirm,
[00:22:41] we put a signature, just a few more seconds
[00:22:45] we spend, we make our choice
[00:22:48] that's it, your vote is... In the same way, the legendary fighter with the call sign Struna,
[00:22:52] Hero of Russia, Vladislav Golovin, voted today.
[00:22:55] Of course, the electronic voting format is more acceptable
[00:22:59] for young people today, it is an opportunity
[00:23:02] to quickly make your choice. We perfectly understand
[00:23:06] that today, observers have been awake for almost three
[00:23:09] days, with full responsibility, with
[00:23:12] full,
[00:23:15] so to speak, with a fairly high workload,
[00:23:18] performing their tasks, their duties,
[00:23:21] and are worthy of
[00:23:24] gratitude. You can vote at home, at work, as
[00:23:28] they say, without being distracted from important matters. Vladimir Putin
[00:23:31] also used the technology, it turned out to be easier
[00:23:34] than simple.
[00:23:38] Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Foreign Minister Sergei
[00:23:41] Lavrov chose the same method, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav
[00:23:45] Volodin and Defense Minister Andrei Belousov chose the
[00:23:48] traditional voting method. Shade into
[00:23:50] the urn.
[00:23:54] From the first day of voting, the CEC's electoral system
[00:23:57] has been subjected to incessant cyberattacks, the number of which
[00:24:00] grows every hour. The conditions, of course, are close to
[00:24:04] extreme, but domestic programs withstand
[00:24:07] the pressure. This is from the category of those, you know, those
[00:24:10] warriors who cannot fight face-to-face,
[00:24:14] they are afraid, cowards, these are heroes in quotation marks in
[00:24:17] diapers. Well, to secretly commit dirty deeds in the form
[00:24:21] of terrorist acts, threats, well, this is their
[00:24:24] tactic, this is already their mental, I would say,
[00:24:27] defect, but we will also deal with them. Opponents
[00:24:30] use hackers in their interests and
[00:24:33] themselves spread fakes on the network. For example, letters with
[00:24:37] a demand to stop preparing for voting were allegedly sent
[00:24:40] to the regions signed by the head of the CEC, but according to Ella
[00:24:44] Pamfilova, even after the elections, it is necessary to remain
[00:24:47] vigilant and not fall for deepfakes generated
[00:24:51] with the help of neural networks. This is
[00:24:53] pure,
[00:24:56] as they say, virtual garbage, look
[00:24:58] carefully, you saw it, this is
[00:25:01] a fake. I made this video on my phone in 5
[00:25:05] minutes, I could have done the same with Kanye West,
[00:25:09] I could have done anything
[00:25:10] I wanted,
[00:25:13] all facts of obstruction of elections are not just
[00:25:16] recorded by the CEC, they are immediately handed over to the special services, who ensure
[00:26:12] a total of 333 foreign polling stations. No other country in the world
[00:26:16] has such opportunities. Early voting took place in
[00:26:19] Egypt and Israel. We drove for an hour and a half to
[00:26:23] Jerusalem to vote. I was not
[00:26:27] born in the Soviet Union, but I was
[00:26:30] reborn for this country when I went
[00:26:34] there to study. After the German authorities closed the Russian
[00:26:37] Consulate General in Bonn, the last place in Germany where
[00:26:41] the largest Russian diaspora in Europe could vote
[00:26:44] remained
[00:26:45] Berlin.
[00:26:55] By the way, in the 2021 Duma elections, there were
[00:26:58] 16 times more polling stations in Germany. Our
[00:27:01] diplomatic mission.
[00:28:11] Russians living in Western countries have a little more time to think about the future, the main thing is to think with their
[00:28:15] own heads. Stanislav Uvaschenko, Roman Vlasov, Mikhail Klimashkin and
[00:28:18] Kirill Kovalev, the main program.
[00:28:21] But special attention these days, of course, is paid to the situation in our new regions
[00:28:25] and border territories, which continue to be harassed by
[00:28:29] the enemy. There, the local authorities did everything
[00:28:32] to hold the elections as safely as possible, avoiding
[00:28:35] mass gatherings of people in one place at one time. In
[00:28:39] those regions where martial law or a medium level
[00:28:43] of response is in effect, voting started early on
[00:28:45] August 28th. For voters of the DPR,
[00:28:49] LPR, Kherson, Zaporozhye regions, as well as residents of regions with
[00:28:53] a difficult situation, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh,
[00:28:56] Kursk, Rostov regions, Krasnodar Krai, Crimea and
[00:28:59] Sevastopol, the Central Election Commission allowed the use
[00:29:03] of additional forms of voting, for example,
[00:29:06] polling stations in adjacent territories or mobile polling
[00:29:10] stations, additional security measures were provided,
[00:29:13] backup premises and power sources were prepared in advance,
[00:29:17] training was conducted jointly with the Ministry of Emergency Situations
[00:29:20] and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But the Kyiv regime does not stop trying
[00:29:24] to disrupt the elections and intimidate people. In the Zaporozhye region, on
[00:29:27] Friday, two chairmen of precinct election commissions
[00:29:31] were attacked, one of the women died. Also,
[00:29:34] this morning, the Ukrainian armed forces deliberately destroyed a polling
[00:29:38] station. Fortunately, at the time of the attack, there were no people
[00:29:41] in the building or nearby, but the active school, in which
[00:29:44] 170 children study, was destroyed. In the village
[00:29:47] of Belokurakino, in the LPR, people could not leave
[00:29:51] the polling station building for several hours because an enemy
[00:29:54] UAV was circling above them, looking for a target.
[00:29:58] A Ukrainian drone attacked a passenger bus in the Kherson
[00:30:02] region. But despite this, despite the attacks of the
[00:30:05] Ukrainian armed forces, despite everything, the regions are coping with all
[00:30:09] the difficulties heroically
[00:30:12] now, people are not intimidated, people are going to
[00:30:15] the elections, election commission employees ensure complete
[00:30:18] transparency and honesty of the process. About the course
[00:30:21] of voting in Donbass, Novorossiya and in the border regions, Maxim
[00:30:25] Krosotkin.
[00:30:35] The city of Military Glory, Kursk. These people, before voting, are glad
[00:30:39] to hear the voice of everyone they have lived side-by-side with. These are residents of
[00:30:42] the border regions of the oblast who were forced to leave their homes.
[00:30:46] Elections are a rare moment when they all gather
[00:30:49] together. Of course, everyone is nostalgic for that time, because
[00:30:52] we lived as such a small family. And our elections were
[00:30:56] special. Well, I see you are meeting like family now.
