00:00:52final day of elections. Fresh data from the Central
00:00:55Election Commission.

00:01:43have closed. Central Russia has all of Sunday ahead, until
00:01:4680 PM, time to get your vote in, on which the future
00:01:50of the country depends. Voter turnout in the State Duma elections at this moment
00:01:53is almost 48%. And the Central Election Commission reported
00:01:57a terrorist attack by Ukrainian militants in the Kherson region.
00:02:01Anton Vernitsky with the latest data. So, in
00:02:04some parts of the country, polling stations have already closed. In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky,
00:02:07Anadyr, Pevek, ballot counting has already begun.
00:02:11In an hour, polling stations in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk will close, well, in
00:02:14Moscow, as you understand, the third day of voting is in full swing.
00:02:18As for the start of work here at the information center of the CEC, the morning
00:02:22began with a tragic message. Today, September
00:02:2620, as a result.
00:02:30Targeted drone attacks on a
00:02:33civilian bus in the Kherson region killed two
00:02:37people, and one of the dead
00:02:40was our colleague, a member of the precinct election
00:02:44commission, polling station number
00:02:47220 of the Nizhneserginsky
00:02:50district of the Kherson region, Olga
00:02:53Petrovna Zemlyanenko,
00:02:56born in 1966. Olga Petrovna was
00:03:00a member of the precinct election commission in
00:03:032023. I already
00:03:07said, now I will repeat again, vile,
00:03:10cowardly, Bandera freaks
00:03:12in diapers,
00:03:15who are afraid to fight
00:03:18like men, for real,
00:03:21so they hunt our peaceful people, mostly
00:03:24women,
00:03:26children.
00:03:29I think... my shame will fall on their heads, each of them
00:03:33will be found.
00:03:36I ask you to honor the memory with a minute
00:03:38of silence.
00:03:44Well, as Ila Ponfilova said, colleagues with strong spirits continue to work,
00:03:48despite targeted attacks by Ukrainian militants on our border territories,
00:03:51despite provocations and killings of election commission members. On
00:03:55September 15, it became known about the death in the Zaporozhye region of the chairman
00:03:59of the precinct election commission, Elena Ostanina. Vladimir Putin posthumously
00:04:02awarded her the Order of Courage. On the night of Thursday, a Ukrainian
00:04:06drone flew into the house of Viktoria Maksimova, another employee
00:04:09of the election commission. Viktoria herself was injured, and her husband and
00:04:13child were injured, but I repeat, despite all this, voting in our
00:04:17new regions is very active, because elections to the State Duma are being held
00:04:20here for the first time. Thus, in the Zaporozhye region, turnout at this hour is
00:04:2473%, in the Kherson region - 65%,
00:04:27in the Luhansk People's Republic - 67%.
00:04:3481%. It is clear that all this is taking into account
00:04:37early voting, which was held due to ongoing shelling here
00:04:41since August 28. If we talk about the overall voter turnout at
00:04:45polling stations across the country, it has already approached
00:04:4746%. Still, the three days of voting,
00:04:51the possibility of electronic distance voting
00:04:54via phone or computer, as I just
00:04:58voted.
00:05:17in Russia in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia in 2024, they were held
00:05:20under harsh pressure from local authorities, when in fact our citizens
00:05:24were hindered from voting, they were blocked from going to
00:05:27polling stations under various pretexts, checking documents, intimidating, it was
00:05:31decided to organize polling stations at border
00:05:34crossings in our territories, and this proved effective,
00:05:37hundreds of voters came and are coming today
00:05:40to vote here. with great respect and
00:05:44attention to voters, these
00:05:47polling stations were organized, even to the point that in
00:05:51mobile buses, they even set up mini-buffets, because it was not so easy
00:05:55for people to get there. In the territory of the Kaliningrad region
00:05:58there are four such points in the Leningrad
00:06:02region, in the city of Uam, Kingisepp
00:06:06district, a specially formed polling station and an equipped
00:06:09polling room in the Pskov region. Whole families came
00:06:12to such polling stations from
00:06:32the Czech Republic and from Germany, well, and we continue to follow
00:06:36the course of voting here at the Central Election Commission. Anton
00:06:40Vernitsky, Channel One.
00:06:43Russia is voting actively, I remind you, in the voter lists in our country, according
00:06:46to the CEC, there are over 111 million
00:06:49people. This is my first vote, you need
00:06:52to participate in the life of the country you live in. We
00:06:55choose our future, in whose
00:06:58hands, and we trust our authorities, so we
00:07:02go and make our choice consciously, and
00:07:05we expect the best. I believe that every citizen of Russia
00:07:08should make the right choice, as this concerns
00:07:12his life and
00:07:16the future of our Donbass region. Finally, it is part of Russia, we
00:07:20have waited for this for so long. In
00:07:22the capital region, the famous saxophonist Igor Butman voted. Grandmaster
00:07:26Sergey Karyakin also came to the polling station in Moscow
00:07:29with his family, managing to vote and conduct a chess
00:07:33master class.
00:07:35The leaders of three of our regions are electing local
00:07:38parliaments.
00:07:42The candidate put forward by Vladimir Putin was unanimously elected to this post
00:07:46Rashid Timrezov, the current head. Deputies will also
00:07:49elect the heads of regions in South Ossetia, Alania and in
00:07:52Dagestan. Let me remind you that in eight of our other regions, direct
00:07:56elections are being held for citizens of our entire country. Hundreds of polling
00:08:00stations were organized abroad, in more than
00:08:03150 countries, our citizens vote in Belarus, Minsk and
00:08:07a number of other cities. In Kyrgyzstan, Transnistria,
00:08:1117 polling stations are open, more than anywhere else in Tiraspol, where there were queues,
00:08:14tens of thousands of people will take part in the voting, people
00:08:18come to make their choice in Bulgaria. Australia,
00:08:21the Consulate General in Sydney and the Embassy in Canberra, the Korean
00:08:25People's Democratic Republic, South
00:08:28Korea, Seoul and Busan. Indonesia, among those who vote,
00:08:32there are many tourists. Japan, the polling station was opened in
00:08:34the Zorge school at the embassy.
00:08:38In New Zealand, one of the first to vote was our
00:08:41ambassador. Also Cambodia, Laos, Iran and
00:08:44many other states. Germany complicated the process for Russians.
00:08:48There is only a polling station at the embassy in Berlin, there is
00:08:51a queue of those wishing to cast their vote. Right before the elections,
00:08:55the authorities closed the Consulate General in Bonn. They knew
00:08:58perfectly well that there were more than 200,000 citizens of our
00:09:01country registered at the consulate there.
00:09:04I think I'll be one of the first, but 50 people were already
00:09:08in front of me anyway. In the morning with a child, tell me why it's important
00:09:11for you to come here early on Sunday? We care about the future of our
00:09:14country, did you stand in line for a long time? No, thankfully, they let me in with
00:09:18the child, it's very great,
00:09:21today Germans themselves are voting in Germany, elections to local parliaments, in
00:09:24the federal states of Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and this is a harsh
00:09:27test for the current
00:09:30government, an indicator of the citizens' attitude towards the country's political course and
00:09:34level of trust, and it, to put it mildly, is not high,
00:09:38this became obvious after the elections in Saxony-Anhalt with humiliating results for...
00:09:52while about 44% for the opposition
00:09:54Alternative for Germany, which advocates for mutually beneficial cooperation with our
00:09:57country. And today's elections are receiving the closest attention.
00:10:01German experts are confident that Merz's political
00:10:04future is at stake. As a poll conducted by the Forsa sociological
00:10:08service showed, now only 10% of respondents
00:10:11positively evaluate the Chancellor's work, this is
00:10:14an anti-record.
00:10:17Our army last night delivered a powerful blow to military-industrial facilities and
00:10:21the logistics infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A large fire in Boyarka near Kyiv.

00:13:30program. Divnogorye is a unique place in the Voronezh region, the bizarre shapes
00:13:34of the rocks combined with white chalk roads make these
00:13:37landscapes fantastic. It is also
00:13:40a sacred place, which was told to guests, showing them the temple in honor of the Sicilian and
00:13:43Divnogorsk Icon of the Mother of God, a church carved into the chalk cliffs,
