Kremlin hails high turnout in Russian elections as proof of unity

Russian officials are claiming that high voter turnout and the results of the election campaign confirm the strength of the country's multi-party political system and the unity of the people in the face of historic challenges. The statement says voters cast their ballots "for their country, for Russia." Critics abroad have long dismissed Russian elections as tightly controlled, so such declarations of legitimacy are contested.
Why now: Official Russian claims of election legitimacy typically draw attention amid international skepticism about the fairness of Russian elections.
