The current situation in Russia means that this is an election which Putin will inevitably win, and after being re- elected, the man who has been at the forefront of Russian politics for 20 years will continue implementing orderly reforms while maintain- ing internal stability, fulfilling his promise to revitalize the Russian nation.展开更多
