Does Russia want people to know this is fake?
Obviously 98.3% of the people know this is fake, and 93% would not believe it regardless of the numbers reported, but Russia must realize that it would be easier to argue that the rsults are real if the measures won with say 70% Da’s.
Not during a big war. And not when Ukraine has threatened hefty jail terms for anyone who voted. That would drive down the pro Ukraine votes, no?
