00:00:43Back to the news, the third and final day of the elections is coming to
00:00:47an end, in the eastern part of the country they are already counting votes, in Moscow and other
00:00:50regions of central Russia, the polling stations will close
00:00:54in just over an hour, now in a second, in an hour,
00:00:57in the Kaliningrad region in two. Then the
00:01:01preliminary results will be known, all information flows to the Central Election Commission, my
00:01:05colleague Kozlova is working there today, she is on direct connection with the studio again. Dari,
00:01:08any updates to this hour? Yes,
00:01:11Yuri, hello again, the polling stations in most of the territory have already
00:01:15closed, gradually we are closing region by region
00:01:18for voting, but for now, of course, we have no numbers, not even
00:01:21preliminary ones, we are certainly waiting for the closing
00:01:25of polling stations in the central regions of Russia, in the Kaliningrad region, so that
00:01:28none.
00:03:30What we can already talk about is that attacks mainly come
00:03:33from abroad, including from the territory of Ukraine, as well as
00:03:37from Great Britain, Brazil, Indonesia directly attack
00:03:40platforms related to remote electronic voting, to the conduct
00:03:43of elections, portals vybory.ru, gosuslugi.ru,
00:03:46in addition, they attack infrastructure that is not
00:03:50directly related to elections, for example, the unified biometric
00:03:54system, but to the credit of our technical specialists,
00:03:57programmers, it must be said that all...
00:04:30it seems to me that it is impossible to hold elections in these conditions, this was the main
00:04:33goal, we prove the opposite, that elections can
00:04:37and must be held, because these are
00:04:39planned procedures, they must take place within the terms prescribed
00:04:43by law, beyond these terms, the authorities become
00:04:46illegitimate, it becomes clear why such
00:04:50a number of DDoS attacks come precisely from the territory
00:04:53of Ukraine, elections during the course of,
00:04:57violations during the course of elections were recorded, but their
00:05:00number is minimal, as is emphasized here,
00:05:03they are not massive, systemic in nature and
00:05:06they cannot influence the outcome
00:05:09of the vote, in addition, all appeals that... are received from citizens,
00:05:13they are promptly processed and violations are eliminated
00:05:17directly during the voting, well, and appeals from citizens are also accepted by
00:05:20the hotline of the Human Rights Commissioner in
00:05:23Russia.
00:05:26In our office, hotlines are operating in all regions. The
00:05:29federal hotline received 25
00:05:32calls, including four calls regarding technical
00:05:36failure, regional commissioners received
00:05:382,092 calls, all applicants
00:05:42were given consultations, mostly
00:05:44these are questions of a consultative nature,
00:05:48a total of 17 appeals were received by the federal commissioner, including eight complaints,
00:05:52three regarding the admission of candidates, one regarding coercion to
00:05:55vote, four regarding obstacles during voting, including non-issuance
00:05:59of ballots and technical failure, well,
00:06:02and since in this live broadcast I am talking about records, I will tell you about another
00:06:06one, which concerns international observers,
00:06:091126 came to these elections.
00:07:12on the other hand, study our experience. Well,
00:07:15now region by region, gradually we are already carrying out the procedure
00:07:19of assembling keys for decrypting remote
00:07:22electronic voting. The last opportunity to make their choice is available to
00:07:25residents of Moscow and central regions, and here
00:07:28the remote electronic voting platform
00:07:32turned out to be very popular, so in Moscow already
00:07:36more than 3 million people have voted on the Mos.ru platform, on the federal platform
00:07:40another 4 million people are voting, so
00:07:43indeed this format has proven to be in demand, but already within
00:07:47the next hour there will be a procedure for assembling keys for
00:07:50decrypting remote electronic voting in the central
00:07:53regions, so we will follow and of course wait for
00:07:57the completion of voting, both in the regions of central Russia, and of course in
00:08:01the Kaliningrad region.
00:08:04Yes, Daria, thank you, Daria Kozlova, live from the Central
00:08:08Election Commission, monitoring the course of voting and
00:08:11the counting of votes. Election Night, this all-Russian
00:08:14online marathon is traditionally held on the main day
00:08:17of voting, in the multimedia press center of the Rossiya media group,
00:08:20today politicians, political strategists, participants of public
00:08:23projects gathered to discuss the course of the election campaign, and my colleague Anton Potkovenko
00:08:27is also working there, he also joined the live broadcast,
00:08:30Anton, greetings, what assessments are given by
00:08:33experts?
00:08:36Yes, Yuri, greetings, but the most important assessments are, perhaps, of course,
00:08:40those that relate to... to a truly
00:08:43high turnout in the current elections to the State Duma
00:08:472026, this is what is mainly discussed by those who gathered today
00:08:51here at the all-Russian online marathon Election
00:08:54Night, here are experts, here are the authors of public platforms,
00:08:58public opinion leaders, sociologists, political scientists, political strategists
00:09:02and one of, perhaps, the main accents is that,
00:09:06despite strong, truly
00:09:09strong, alas, external pressure on...
00:09:13the current Russian elections, they passed confidently,
00:09:16smoothly, let's
00:09:17listen,
00:09:21if we look at the turnout, it has significantly increased,
00:09:24look, by the end of the second day
00:09:27of voting it was 11% higher compared to the previous cycle,
00:09:30this is a serious indicator, there are many international observers,
00:09:34by the way, even from unfriendly countries have also come,
00:09:38although these unfriendly countries said that we will not recognize the elections, but who are they not to recognize
00:09:42ours?
00:09:42choice,
00:09:46well, I would like to dwell separately on the topic of international observers,
00:09:49this year a record has been broken, in fact,
00:09:531,126 international observers
00:09:56have been monitoring, well, they are still monitoring, the elections are still ongoing,
00:10:00the current elections in the Russian Federation, observers
00:10:04from 133 countries, from 13 international organizations,
00:10:07one of these international observers, Kostya
00:10:11Heiskanen, is a military journalist, war correspondent from
00:10:14Finland, and we have actually known each other for a long
00:10:18time, and of course, I couldn't help but ask him
00:10:21for his opinion, for his assessment of the current...
00:10:55some kind of broom, yes, they voluntarily went there,
00:10:58of course, the task of the West is to disrupt the elections, but despite
00:11:02the fact that there are attacks, people are dying, including members of election
00:11:05commissions, people are actively going to vote, of course, I was
00:11:09interested in how my Donetsk People's Republic
00:11:12votes, my homeland, when I saw over 80%, and
00:11:16honestly, tears are welling up in my eyes right now, because I understand what is behind
00:11:19this, and the Kherson region, Zaporozhye, and Donetsk, and
00:11:22Luhansk, and Crimea, how they are now... voting, these are heroic
00:11:26people who, under drone attacks,
00:11:30are now making their choice and making a contribution to the future of our
00:11:34country.
00:11:37Well, this is truly a genuine emotion, yes, it's immediately
00:11:41visible, among war correspondents, and
00:11:44of course, at the same time, among voters, everything that is happening, as they say,
00:11:47goes straight to their hearts, that's exactly what they shared
00:11:51with us, also among international observers, among these...
00:13:55chooses its
00:13:55future,
00:13:59well, from these comments it is clear that the current election night
00:14:03is taking place in such a, well, serious, serious working
00:14:06mood, in general, from the point of view of the atmosphere, what I would like
00:14:09to note is that election night is such a very peculiar format, here there is more
00:14:13informal communication, the situation is such that many of those who came
00:14:17here, they actually know each other for a long time, so here there are not
00:14:21official speeches more, but
00:14:24a dialogue, and of course disputes, well, because where have you seen two political scientists with
00:14:28one opinion, but in fact, all, or rather, all
00:14:31those gathered here today, have one unified point of view
00:14:35on one single aspect, perhaps the most
00:14:39important, that there is a very high turnout
00:14:42in today's elections, that people came and showed their civic
00:14:46position, came to the polling stations, this is precisely
00:14:49the best, the clearest, the most definite answer
00:14:53to those external forces that would prefer to see Russia
00:14:56weak, would prefer to see it deprived
00:14:59of sovereignty, and this answer
00:15:03is unequivocally no, the elections in Russia took place and it will not be possible
00:15:06to weaken our country, this is probably the most important thing,
00:15:10Yuri, yes, Anton, thank you, Anton
00:15:13Potkovenko, about the work of the expert platform Election Night
00:15:162026, well, and let's go back to the statements
00:15:20of the head of the Central Election Commission, today
00:15:22she noted that Russians in the elections show a high
00:15:26level of consolidation, despite external pressure. It is especially noticeable in the regions of Donbass and
00:15:30Novorossiya: shelling does not stop, and members of election commissions received numerous
00:15:33threats. About their work, Ksenia Bykova.
00:15:40Early in the morning in the Kherson region, a Ukrainian drone attacked an ordinary
00:15:43passenger bus with peaceful citizens. Two people died,
00:15:47including sixty-year-old Olga Demyanenko, a member of polling
00:15:50station election commission number 220. Condolences to her
00:15:53relatives, friends and colleagues were expressed in the Central Election Commission. Olga
00:15:57Demyanenko worked in the election system since 2023
00:16:01year. During the election campaign for the election of deputies of the State Duma
00:16:04of the ninth convocation, she actively participated in the address project.
00:16:12According to the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, Olga Demyanenko always
00:16:16honestly and responsibly fulfilled her duty, participated in the conduct
00:16:19of several election campaigns, including the presidential elections in Russia.
00:16:23Pamfilova called for a minute of silence in her memory. They are afraid
00:16:27to fight like men, really,
00:16:30therefore
00:16:33they hunt our peaceful people, mainly
00:16:37women and
00:16:38children,
00:16:41I think shame will fall on their heads, each of them
00:16:45will be found,
00:16:48I ask to honor the memory with a minute of silence,
00:17:01words of support to the families of the deceased were also sent by the governor of the Kherson
00:17:04region, Vladimir Saldo, I express... condolences to the relatives
00:17:08and friends of the deceased, a heavy loss for the families, for
00:17:11the Nizhneserogovskiy district, for all of Kherson region. After the attack on
00:17:15the passenger bus, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on
00:17:18a terrorist act. The department emphasized that the attack by Ukrainian armed formations
00:17:22was targeted. Having committed another barbaric
00:17:25crime, the Kyiv regime again encroached on
00:17:28the electoral rights of our citizens
00:17:31guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The Investigative Committee
00:17:35of Russia will conduct a full and comprehensive.
00:18:07things are getting better there, let's call her by her name, and
00:18:11we want to wish our second colleague, who was there earlier, yes,
00:18:14a speedy recovery, a speedy recovery. This morning,
00:18:18a polling station in the village of Pryshyp, Zaporizhzhia
00:18:21region, also came under attack, it was located in the building of an operating school where
00:18:25170 children study, part of the building's roof
00:18:28was damaged. At the time of the attack, there were no people inside, fortunately, so there are no
00:18:31casualties. Ksenia Bykova, Ivan Kuznetsov,
00:18:35Vesti.
00:18:38In the Belgorod region, where, in addition to the State Duma composition, a governor is being elected, voting
00:18:41is also taking place in a difficult situation: increased security measures were taken, drone
00:18:45attacks do not stop, but voter
00:18:48activity was very high, at 15:00 today
00:18:51the turnout exceeded 59%.
00:18:54Alexander
00:18:56Korobov will tell you the details,
00:19:00the Solokhov road, the interchange, everyone take cover,
00:19:03it's coming,
00:19:05the market is like the sky? The final day of voting in Shebekino
00:19:09began with new attacks. Early in the morning an enemy drone hit this
00:19:12apartment building, there were no casualties, but there is a lot
00:19:16of damage. The charge was of a high-explosive type to inflict as much
00:19:19damage as possible. The radio does not stop. Special forces
00:19:22fighters at combat posts control
00:19:25the sky. The operational situation is not easy,
00:19:28therefore, of course, it is important not to gather a large number
00:19:32of people in one place. Many Shebekino residents did not wait
00:19:36for the weekend and took the opportunity to vote
00:19:40early. At their posts, members of precinct
00:19:43election commissions have been working for many years, they have to work in such
00:19:47difficult conditions. I can say honestly, professionals
00:19:50work here, and I can say that, for
00:19:53example, in the last elections, we already
00:19:56had cases when we evacuated the precinct, when we
00:20:00evacuated ballots directly in
00:20:03stationary, portable ballot boxes, that is, the guys
00:20:05here know how to work in special conditions, and
00:20:09this, I think, our commission is the most real,
00:20:12without much coordination, apparently, it is already embedded in
00:20:16the subconscious, residents come to vote in pairs or
00:20:19alone, everyone has a radio on the right frequency, we love
00:20:23our city, we love our president, so that we live well,
00:20:26that's why we came to the polling station, well, despite
00:20:30the situation, you still have to come and vote, which
00:20:33I did, that is, of course, the radio, we
00:20:35listen to everything - we set the car to the frequency, everything,
00:20:39but we must vote, I consider it sacred, I walk
00:20:43through bullets, through hail, through drones, but
00:20:46I came, don't address me, come here to my territory. In the city
00:20:50there are special polling stations for residents of border villages, which were
00:20:53closed for security reasons, residents of Murom come to this
00:20:56point, elections are a good reason to meet with
00:21:00fellow villagers, share sorrows and joys,
00:21:03I hope now this voting will pass
00:21:06successfully, everything, although you see how they shoot and hit Shebekino
00:21:10every day, this happens, but I think that my vote will not be the last,
00:21:14and it will make its contribution to our country. Enemy drones
00:21:18continue to fly to a peaceful neighborhood.
00:22:50chairman of the Committee on Regulations and Mandate Issues, his
00:22:53proposals for socio-economic development were announced by Krym Shnakhov, deputy
00:22:57of the republican parliament, chairman of the Committee on Industry, Transport
00:23:01and Energy. The main process took place behind closed
00:23:04doors, but the deputies voted openly, raising
00:23:08their mandates. The parliament voted
00:23:11almost unanimously. The first to congratulate the head of the Karachay-Cherkess
00:23:14Republic was the Plenipotentiary Representative of the Russian President in
00:23:17the North Caucasus Federal District.
00:23:25I want to express my gratitude to our president, Vladimir
00:23:28Vladimirovich Putin for such high trust, and of course
00:23:31to my colleagues, fellow party members of United Russia,
00:23:35and I believe that
00:23:39well, we actually with the deputy
00:23:42corps have been working quite actively for many
00:23:45years, well, I assess this as a very... high
00:23:48trust
00:23:51at the same time as a very
00:23:54high responsibility, we have also already congratulated Rashid
00:23:58Berezhovich on his election, thus his powers as the head of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic
00:24:02are extended for another 5
00:24:05years. Voevodaev and Andrey Chastyakov, Vesti from Karachay-Cherkess
00:24:09Republic.
00:24:12The Russian Foreign Ministry expects that the turnout in elections abroad will be higher than in
00:24:152021. This was stated in an interview with our channel by the official representative
00:24:19of the department. Maria Zakharova. According to her, more than 104,000 Russian
00:24:23citizens have already voted abroad.
00:24:25In the elections for deputies
00:24:27of the State Duma, 104,722
00:24:31Russian citizens abroad
00:24:33participated.
00:24:36120 early
00:24:39in-person votes took place. No matter how much
00:24:42they interfered, and of course, they interfered, they continue to
00:24:45interfere all the time. But the main thing is different, people are coming, coming with
00:24:49families, coming with symbols, well, those
00:24:51symbols that are allowed, state symbols, for
00:24:55many this is truly an event, they bring children, many
00:24:59young people, but at the same time there are also
00:25:02people of, you know, mature
00:25:04age,
00:25:08more than 200 Russians have already voted in Serbia in the State Duma elections, a queue
00:25:11at the polling station gathered even before it opened, and one of
00:25:15the first to make his choice was our ambassador to the republic, Alexander Botsan
00:25:19Kharchenko.
00:25:51For residents of Abkhazia with Russian citizenship, 50 polling stations
00:25:54are currently open in the republic. By 3 PM today,
00:25:58more than 41,000 had voted there. This was announced by
00:26:00Russian Ambassador Vyacheslav.
00:26:32Here there are 17 polling stations, they are open in every city and in
00:26:36some, queues periodically appear. According to local
00:26:39media, the most active voters are in Bender, Tiraspol and
00:26:42Rîbnița. In general, tens of thousands of residents of Transnistria with
00:26:46Russian citizenship
00:26:48participate in the elections for deputies of the State Duma.
00:26:52This is natural for us, and if you look at the history
00:26:55of elections conducted by the Russian Federation on the territory
00:26:59of Transnistria, both the elections of the President of the Russian Federation and
00:27:02the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, and referendums were also held
00:27:06on our territory, in principle, citizens
00:27:09of Transnistria who have Russian passports
00:27:12show high activity. Elections are a
00:27:15process of demonstrating the highest degree
00:27:18of democracy. And today, citizens
00:27:21of Transnistria, the Russian Federation,
00:27:24are voting for their future, determining the vector
00:27:28of development of a large state. We
00:27:31perfectly understand that a lot depends on
00:27:35each person's choice. Transnistria has always
00:27:38been famous for the fact that electoral
00:27:40processes always took
00:27:43place here in an
00:27:46open manner, everyone had
00:27:49the opportunity to vote, express their opinion. All
00:27:52of us look with hope to our
00:27:56future, that's why we are here today,
00:27:59voting, expressing ourselves.
