This is also a failure of the news media, to not more clearly explain to people what Putin is doing and that the election results he declares, is a joke. End result, some people here for real believing that the people in Russia supports Putin. It's depressing that the newspapers let themselves be used by him as a tool for manipulation It's also annoying, I think, that the newspapers keep calling him the "president".
