Elections ended in Russia. They become a climax, perhaps the most boring election campaign. At the same time, the elections themselves were quite alive. Russians love holidays and celebrate them with soul, so when they were invited to vote for both a holiday, they gladly received an invitation. In addition, said Vladimir Putin's self-confinement headquarters, "Thank you" for a high turnkey should be said to the West: the scandal with the former colonel British mobilized and rallied Russians around the current president. And although the results were expected, after all, March 18 did not cost without intrigue.
Breaking through the blizzard in Norilsk, standing in short shorts in hot phuket, in dog sledding in Kamchatka, defending a long line in Milan and Prague - our compatriot voted, it seems everywhere and in any conditions. Even if this compatriot - who came to the site at the Russian Embassy in France, or a 122-year-old approx of Elija from Ingushetia, or, finally, the only Russian astronaut on the ISS Anton Slippers, which provided a 100% appearance in space.
The wishes of Russians voted surprised: by noon, the Far East and Siberia have already shown a turnout of almost 30 percent, which was higher than the indicators of the 2012 presidential election and the Duma 2016. And although by the middle of the day, the appearance returned to the usual indicators, the photos of queues did not cease to surprise - because the result was predetermined. But it obviously played the role of another factor - exacerbated relations with the West. Such is the national mentality - to rally at a difficult moment, as they say later.
In addition, these elections became not even a festival festival. The famous dancer in the Primorsky Territory is surrounded by ballerinas, a local resident came to the village of Gorbunka to the polling station, and Sarmati Intercontinental Rocket Costa came, and the Polar Bear Winter Swimming Club was held in Barnaul. "We are in this form to choose the tenth time already, and this number is not final," explained the leader of the Altai walrus. In the northern capital, the Teutonic Knights was marched, the costume of the dragon was walked in Ryazan, and hedgehogs and swords came to vote in the Lipetsk, and the governor was put in the Arkhangelsk region.
The mood of the chapter of the Central Election Commission was difficult to call the festival - this day was an apogem not easy and sometimes painful for her campaign. In front of the camera, it appeared early in the morning - in a luxurious fur coat and with the usual laying. After a few hours, the mood will spoil her. Decisibly stating that all falsifiers should give hands, she added in the hearts: "I would, maybe, and on the teeth ..." I thought the moment and apologized for inconsistency.
The first candidates for the polling station, oddly enough, came the current head of state. Self-prominent Vladimir Putin did his choice in the building. Initially, it was planned that he would come to dinner and would vote after the Prime Minister. However, then why changed plans. After Putin voted (he did it amazingly for a long time - 38 seconds, they considered observed journalists), the "Kommersant" correspondent puzzled him about what it was - to vote for himself: uncomfortable or "I can't vote." "Why can't I?" - Putin was surprised. He was confident in "the correctness of the program that is offered for the country."
After some time, a candidate from the Russian Nature Union party voted on the same site. Having fulfilled his civil debt, he somehow began to assure Syrian observers that Russia would not leave Syria. He carried the process, he did it for quite a long time. In the meantime, Pavel's candidate has voted in his native state farm. Lenin, after which the employee of the election committee kissed the soul. The leader after the will, on the contrary, was in a Grozny mood. Wait was worthwhile to countries of the West. "The following elections will not be, as we move to Brussels. In Brussels, we will be all and commanding the whole planet Earth, "said Zhirinovsky as cut off.
The presidential candidate from the Communist Party of Russia came to vote on Novoslobodskaya Street with Mom. Surajkin, as he himself admitted, would satisfy the result of 50 percent. In this, any competitors could agree with him. The candidate from the Growth Party voted in the elections in the village of Abrau-Durso of the Krasnodar Territory. Alone, but in an elegant lilac tie, the founder appeared on the site.
TV presenter voted the latter. On this day, she has created information reasons more active, going first with the inspection in the "Sailor Silence", and then in a live broadcast to the opposition. Sobchak invited Navalny to his party, but he didn't just refuse, but also called the interlocutor of the Kremlin project and the disgrace of the opposition. Despite sharp criticism, the TV presenter did not lose the presence of the Spirit and the dress came to his election headquarters and with the scarlet lipstick. "I think the main thing that we managed to do is break through to the microphone," she marked the main success and praised the past elections for being more transparent. According to preliminary results, the TV presenter received more than one and a half percent of the votes of the voter, taking the fourth place that for the beginner is not bad.
Success can be considered the result of another newcomer - Paul Bescrain. According to the results of the processing of 99 percent of the protocols, the CPRF candidate is gaining about 12 percent of the votes. And although the result of the breast is lower than in previous years, the Communist Party stated that they did not regret the choice. "I believe that he is a ready-made candidate for prime ministers," said Zyuganov. One problem - you will have to part with a mustache. It seems that the sader helped an interviewer Yury Dudu.
Vladimir Putin's self-configuration did not simply repeated the success of 2004 by typing more than 76 percent. He surpassed himself, this is a record result in the history of presidential elections in Russia. In absolute terms, more than 55 million Russians gave their voices for the current president. Six years ago, Putin was leading with an indicator of 63.6 percent (this is 45 million votes). Coming out in the evening on the stage on the Manezh Square, the undisputed leader assured that from now on, the country is "doomed to success."
And what type? The results of candidates of Boris Titov, Sergey Baburin and Maxim Surajkin oscillate in the 0.6 - 0.7 percent district. Grigoria Yavlinsky has more - 1.2. Thus, the results of this four slightly differ from each other. But, noted Baburin, he was pleased with the high indicators of the voter turnout.
Experts predict that after the presidential election in 2018, the reform of the political system will begin

Alignment of competitiveness of parties will be one of the main directions of reform political system in Russia. And one thing herthe vectors will be the consolidation of parties. This was stated by the participants of the meeting of the Expert Club "Parliamentary Newspaper", which took place on October 12.
"Multipleness" instead of manual control
The Moderator of the Expert Club "Parliamentary Newspaper" Political analyst said that the reform of the political system was nominated, since the existing mechanism for the formation of the Russian parliament successfully fulfilled its task on cutoff from the legislative power of populist groups. And, according to him, the fall in the appearance of the elections, which was noted by political scientists on a single voting day on September 10, is the "rational behavior of the voter." The expert believes that the meaningful difference between the future reform is that the personal power regime at one, albeit the magnificent leader will be replaced by "multi-ship".
"The mechanism of accepting collegial solutions will be stronger than manual management," said Marks about one of the reform options.

Also, according to him, the scenario is quite real, when political parties in Russia will become the integration of power and large businesses. For example, he explained, if in some city there is a businessman number 1, that is, and businessman number 2, which will always be in conflict with the first. Each of them needs their own political support, its own party - such a system works in dozens of countries of the world. In Russia, while business makes a greater emphasis on supporting governors or mayors than deputies. The political scientist believes that the situation should vary in favor of parties.
The voter does not go to the elections, because I am confident - all the parties in Russia are the same, and the voting need "for a tick," the First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation, a deputy from the Fair Russia faction. Parliamentarian is convinced that the reform of the political system in Russia is impossible without proposals from the parties themselves. According to him, individual people in the system opposition talk about it for a long time and such people becomes more and more.

"No one will break the party through the knee - not to return to such a reform of the voter confidence. I think the authorities denote the way to reform that the parties move on it further, "the legislator noted.
And now, according to Mikhail Emelyanova, it is necessary to create a coordination council for opposition parliamentary parties - it will be easier to promote initiatives. Especially since, for example, the introduction of a progressive tax scale in Russia is supported by all three opposition dimensional fractions. Therefore, the association of "Fair Russia", LDPR and the Communist Party, considers the deputy, "the idea is not so fantastic."
On the way to bipartisters
The reform of the political system will begin immediately after the elections of the President of Russia in March 2018, experts are convinced. And suggestions on how to make changes, we heard the presidential candidates already in the course of the election statements - the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Regional Policy and the Problems of the North and Far East, Deputy from the LDPR faction.
"A request for a strong opposition has already been formed in society. And the candidate who will formulate it will have a big chance of winning, "he believes.

And the essence of the reform of the parliamentarian sees in the consolidation of political parties. At the same time, the parliamentarian noted: if the current electoral legislation would work a hundred percent, the question of the part of the majority would always be open.
Experts agree that the emergence of the "second large party" along with "United Russia" will allow to get away from the situation when the interests of a huge number of Russians are not expressed in any way during the elections. A political technologist Andrei Kolyadin I noticed: the government will not give a signal to reform if there is no specific project to change the political system. As they say, there is no project - no solutions.

Meanwhile, not everyone is confident that the reform of the political system will begin in 2018. But in 2021, the State Duma will be formed in a different principle - in this doubt there are few people arise. In particular, this opinion was expressed by the "Parliamentary Gazeta" head of the "Party of the case" Konstantin Babkin.
"Elections will become more competitive, competition is more. In any case, our party feels the desire to suppress our political activity, it really hopes, "he noted.
Vladimir Putin was elected president for the fourth time, and soon, as in 2008, the question of his successor will be acute again. And who will become it - very important. The new leader of the state should be very decisive and in their policies to be guided by the interests of ordinary citizens, while today's president and the government look more in the direction of business. When the following elections of the President of Russia after 2018, and what should be waiting for them?
Due to the current situation requires serious changes. Since today's symbiosis of power and business led to the rag of corruption in the country, and it is not possible to fight it today, because it suits the entire power tip. Only changes in the manual are able to destroy this vicious circle.
It is also clear that we are all mortal, and government officials, including. The country's leading apparatus does not have a younger, and the global update time will come soon. Anyway, Vladimir Putin should show the country of his successor and move away from affairs, but who will be this very figure?
So it happened in Russia lately that the presidents are not chosen by the people, but appoint previous presidents. It is worthwhile that in a short time, Vladimir Putin will declare his successor publicly, and people will know who you can vote in the following elections. Since the chances of the fact that the candidate from among the oppositionists will be allowed to be legal ways, they seek to zero, but it is impossible to reset them with accounts.
What to expect from the election-2024?
When the following elections of the President of Russia after 2018? According to current legislation, the following elections must pass in spring 2024. For these 6 years, the situation may change and more than once.
A rating of confidence in the President and the Government may be collapsed because of the next serious crisis, which will increase the chances of oppositionists and adds unpredictability of 2024 elections. It is worth noting that the four-year-old, which was not quite large, acted before the establishment of a six-year term. There is also a restriction that does not allow to go to one person more than two presidential terms in a row, and therefore the president who does not resort to the "castling" can take his post no more than 12 years in a row.
Probably, it is not worthwhile to wait for the new "castling" in 2024 - not the age of the current president, in addition, the term of finding in power is increased, and in this regard, most likely, in the 2024 elections, it will not be about the "Location-2024 presidential post ", but about a full-fledged new president.
But who will be it? The assumptions are put forward that after any amendment in the Constitution, Putin will be running again. But if you exclude such guesses and assume that still the country will have a real new president - who can become them?
One of the options for the successor to Putin is Sergey Kuzhugetovich Shoigu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and today the Minister of Defense and the Army General. Shoigu at one time stood at the origins of the ruling party "United Russia", heading then the party "Unity".
It makes sense to bring here all his track record - just recall that he practically created from nothing emergency situations And returned the order in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation after complex reforms and loud scandals.
Shoigu - absolutely accurately will continue the current political course. But he is a pronounced representative of the "powerful" clan and is not associated with representatives of the liberal wing, so there is an option that when Shoigu, the symbiosis of power and business can end, and systemic liberals will be moved to the background.
Sergey Sobyanin
Sobyanin is a very likely candidate as a successor to Putin. The mayor of Kogalym worked to Moscow. The fact that he became the mayor of Moscow is far from chance: he previously headed the presidential administration, replacing the quality of Dmitry Medvedev to the deputy prime minister. Sobyanin, like Shoigu - a system candidate, probably Putin's course will continue with it by 100%.
Pavel Grudinin
And this is a real candidate from the opposition. In 2018, the brother, director of the state farm named after Lenin, was a candidate for presidents from the united left opposition instead of Gennady Zyuganov, and took the second place, ahead of the new candidate Zhirinovsky for a long time. Thanks this fact It is already possible to seriously consider the sternum, and after the election it is impossible to exclude a certain agreement between Putin and Bescrain, after the conclusion of which the latter will go into a provillan clan and turn into an official successor. Either the potential rearrangement of saddine supporters as an oppositionist, which will give him the opportunity to compete again with a providental candidate.
Sobchak is a very controversial figure. Many believe that her election campaign has become a planned operation aimed at discrediting non-systemic liberals, or a peculiar service of Putin, thanks to which Sobchak was able to start a political career. However, is it worth waiting for the appearance of his party from Sobchak and began its activities as a serious independent policy? There is no answer to this question yet.
Many believe that Sobchak cannot and is not ready to manage the whole country. Finally, others believe that the appearance of Sobchak on the political arena is something like gratitude to Putin's father, with whom Vladimir Vladimirovich worked very for a long time. One thing is clear - Sobchak, if she still counts the presidency, it will take a complete reboot of the image.
Some unconventional political science
Since the level of education of Russian society, unfortunately, does not grow, a certain popularity among citizens decreased vera in a variety of extrasensses, strongly heated by transfers on TV. Not bypassed like a tetree and political life: Right and next to the Internet walks various prophecies and predictions, where we allegedly talk about the identity of the future of the President of Russia. Naturally, it makes no sense to pay attention to such predictions, and no serious political scientist and the political scientist will take them as a serious source.
And those who are still inclined to believe in magic, prophecy and the like revelations, we recommend raising the level of education, as well as get acquainted with scientific worldview and healthy skepticism. The candidacy of the future president is determined by non-stars and spirits, but agreements specific people and the work of professional political technologists. And to predict the results of such work it is better to trust professional political scientists, and not television drivers who serve the interests of the audience of superstitors and fiction lovers.
The election of the President of Russia 2018 is an event that is actively discussed among the public. The reasons for such premature interest are numerous, and they are based on questions that are already beginning to excite Russian citizens: whether the operating head of the state will go to the fourth term, who will enter the list of candidates, who will be president after Putin? 
Such attention to the presidential campaign can be explained by an attempt to predict the further development of events. Potentially, any elections can become a turning point in the country's history, because it is its president in many respects defines the vector of its development. How much will the Russian Federation go in the near future, who will represent the country in the international arena in 2 years, are there changes?
When will the following elections for the Russian president? Deadlines of the presidency
The nearest elections of the President of Russia will be held in 2018, when the next period of location expires as the operating head of State Putin V.V. According to the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation (Art. 81), which was submitted in 2008, from 2012 introduced a 6-year term of the presidency. First in the 1993 Constitution, it was said only about 4 years, which should be counted from the moment of the next presidential election.
In the same article, 81 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation reflected the situation according to which one person cannot qualify for the position of president of the country while in this post more than 2 deadlines contract. In accordance with this norm, the current head of state Putin V.V. It has the ability to run again in 2018. Recall that the experience of his work as head of state by 2018 will be 14 years old:
- from May 7, 2000 - to May 7, 2008 (2 senses in a row);
- from May 7, 2012 - to the present (third term until 2018)
In the Federal Law "On Elections of the President of the Russian Federation" it is stated that the time of the behavior of the first round of the next elections should be the second Sunday of the month in which previous elections were held. This means that the new head of state, the Russians will be chosen on March 11, 2018.
Election of the President of Russia 2018: Candidates
Until the next election of the President of the Russian Federation, 2 years left, but experts and analysts are already beginning to form a list of potential candidates for a high post. First of all, everyone is interested in the decision of the current head of state: according to Putin's statements made in September 2016, he still did not yet decide to run by him for the presidency in the fourth time. Obviously, the final decision will be made shortly before the elections, but the likelihood that Putin will try to keep in power, experts are assessed as very high.
It is known that among the candidates there are already the name of Gregory Yavlinsky, which will be nominated from the "Apple" party. Perhaps the company will make permanent participants of the presidential racing of the recent years of Gennady Zyuganov (Communist Party), Vladimir Zhirinovsky (LDPR) and Sergey Mironov ("Fair Russia"). Among the possible candidates are called Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Political scientists claim that the final list is formed only on the eve of the election campaign, and in it with a large probability, new names and surnames may appear. 
Who will be the next Russian president?
The work of the current president of Russia, citizens of the country continue to evaluate highly, the actual electoral rating of Putin: surveys as of September 2016 show that it is supported by 73% of Russians. This suggests that the results of the potential election-2016 would be obvious. At the same time, the next 2 years, experts are already called the most difficult for the country, since it will have to face the consequences of sanctions introduced by foreign states. It is believed that the expected economic problems will inevitably affect the financial condition of ordinary citizens who will give their votes, coming to the election of the President of Russia in 2018. All this makes any predictions difficult, besides, talking about the next president of the country in the absence of an approved list of candidates meaningless.
Are the early elections of the president in Russia possible?
Theoretically, the presidential elections may be carried out early: this is enough to have the existence of an appropriate decision of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation. The main question is a reason for transferring the deadlines. Such can be the illness of the acting supervisor, its premature ending, etc. The likelihood that the presidential election in the Russian Federation will take place before 2018 for any other reasons, extremely small. The only similar precedent in the country's history is the early elections of 2000, which became the result of the early resignation of Yeltsin B.N.
Presidential race in full swing. On March 18, 2018, we will all go to vote for a candidate worthy to manage Russia. The result of the next elections is practically predictable, and, most likely, many later will remember that, Russia, no one foresaw surprises. People's expectations are obvious, the lists of candidates are known to be known, and the Russian citizens are mostly united.
Leader today
The Russian presidential post established in 1991 was elected 6 times.
The current leader Vladimir Putin first elected on main post Countries in March 2000 and since then did not remain aside from great politics. After 4 years, he was re-elected. He did not leave the political arena during the reign of Dmitry Medvedev - from 2008 to 2012, working as a chairman of the government. Since 2012, Putin again became the head of state. A new term of finding the president in power was approved - 6 years. Fourth time? Second "Sixolete"? And who, if not he?
Everyone must be seen. In the years when there were election of the President of Russia, all candidates tried their appropriate plans programs to conquer as many hearts of representatives of the electorate, implemented their election campaigns within budget money, no exception and 2018. Breastman walks on the Bolshevichka, Sobchak goes to Washington, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin just keeps the working rhythm.
In 1991, the president was elected for 5 years, while several years later - in 1993, it was reduced to four years old. This innovation entered into force, respectively, since 1996, when the second round was needed to identify the winner. 2000, 2004 and 2008 - In these years, the elections were held in normal mode, but later (in 2008) regular amendments were made to legislation. According to them, since 2012, a six-year stay at the presidential post is established.
Elections in 1991.
First elections. The head of the Russian state was elected on June 12, 1991. Lists contained about 107 million people, vote 75%. Six candidate couples (president and vice president) took part - the data is fixed by the electoral authority (CEC).
Vladimir Zhirinovsky with Andrei Zhirovsky (Head of the Galander Concern "), Boris Yeltsin with Alexander Rutsk, was unjited by Vladimir Zhirinov, Boris Yeltsin (formerly Union Prime Minister) with Boris Gromov, Aman Tuleyev with the head of the Kuzbasshachtostroy plant, Viktor Bocharov.
Results: In 1991, when the election of the president, Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin was considered the leader in Russia. He scored 57%, which corresponds to about 46 million votes. "Silver Medal" was in the hands of the third place was occupied by Vladimir Wolfovich Zhirinovsky, for the first time participating and scored about 8%.
The federal budget "lost" 155 million rubles - such costs were incurred on the election campaign.
Elections in 1996.
The next elections of the Russian leader took place on June 16, 1996, and the number of voters amounted to about 109 million people. At the last moment, Aman Tuleyev came down from the distance. As a result, 10 candidates were fought for the post together with the current President Yeltsin, including Mikhail Gorbachev and Zhirinovsky, Communist Zyuganov, as well as Grigory Yavlinsky.
Passed the first round where the greatest number Votes - 35%, turned out to be in Yeltsin. But since half did not have been recruited (the elections took place if the candidate was recruited more than 50%), in two weeks spent the second round. July 3, 1996 it happened! The President of the Russian Federation was elected Boris Nikolaevich, 54% of Russians gave his voices for him.
Early election of the President of the Russian Federation: March 26, 2000
In 2000, the next elections of the President of Russia should have been held, but the date was revised due to the voluntary resignation of the current president on the last day of the late 1999. In total, 11 candidates participated in the presidential race, most of which were party promoters, and not independent units.
The date was determined on March 26, the winner was the acting head of the Russian state Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich. He scored 53% of voters. The Russian CEC appreciated the spending of the Russian budget of 1 billion 420 million rubles. Federal funds were spent not in vain, the Great Epoch began.
Election of the President of the Russian Federation: March 14, 2004
The number of citizens enrolled in the lists exceeded 108 million Russians, six candidates appeared in the ballots. V. V. Zhirinovsky, these elections prudently missed (apparently, did not make sense).
According to the results, Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich was again selected. 71% of citizens put "for" for him in their bulletins, the result was obvious at that time.
According to the report, 2.5 billion rubles were spent. And we can observe a steady tendency to grow federal expenses on the main case of the country.
Election of the President of Russia in 2008
According to the approved constitutional order, the current leader did not have the right to take part in the struggle for the post of head of state for the third time, only four participated in it, and Dmitry Medvedev was elected to the post, which actually amounted to 52.5 million votes of Russians - excellent result!
Today, thinking about Ksenia Sobchak, we remember that since 2008, it is from those elections, the string "against all" disappeared from the newsletters. Spent on the campaign was in total About 5 billion rubles of budget money.
Election of the President of Russia in 2012
The first month of spring is elected. The Council appointed the date of elections of the President of the Russian Federation. They became
In the Central Election Commission, five presidential candidates were registered. Including Zhirinovsky, Zyuganov, as well as a businessman Mikhail Prokhorov.
The day when the election of the President of Russia was victorious for Vladimir Putin, who was elected to the post of head of state with the number of votes for "for" 64%.
10.3 billion budget rubles were spent on the electoral campaign. Election of the President of Russia 2012 and 1991: Feel the difference between costs. But let's consider your personal expenses, if something is done, it means that it is necessary.
