Presidential elections were held in Russia on 26 March 2000. Incumbent Prime Minister and acting President Vladimir Putin, who had succeeded Boris Yeltsin on his resignation on 31 December 1999, was seeking a four-year term in his own right and won the elections in the first round. Polling stations were opened from 8:00a.m. to 8:00p.m.
Putin's campaign press service announced that he decided not to use the free radio and television time provided to all candidates and not to take part in TV debates. A number of other candidates explained this as a refusal to clarify his position on various controversial issues. However, during the campaign Putin excessively often appeared on TV screens as a newsmaker.
In all cases where the President of the Russian Federation is unable to fulfill his duties, they shall be temporarily delegated to the Prime Minister, who becomes Acting President of Russia. The Chairman of the Federation Council is the third important position after the President and the Prime Minister. In the case of incapacity of the President and Prime Minister, the chairman of the upper house of parliament becomes acting head of state.
The fairness of the election was disputed, with official monitoring groups giving conflicting reports. Some reported that the election was free and fair, while others reported that not all candidates had equal media coverage and that Kremlin opposition was treated unfairly. Monitoring groups found a number of other irregularities. The head of the electoral commission Vladimir Churov and the European election monitoring group PACE said the results reflected the will of the people.
Presidential elections were held in Russia on 14 March 2004. Incumbent President Vladimir Putin was seeking a second full four-year term. He was re-elected with 71.9% of the vote.
Candidates
Sergey Glazyev
Glazyev was Minister for Foreign Trade under Boris Yeltsin, a Communist member of the State Duma and in 2003 became co-chairman of the newly established Rodina party. However, he failed to win the Rodina nomination because of a power struggle with Dmitri Rogozin, and ran as independent candidate. He campaigned as a critic of economic reforms. He argued that post-Communist governments have ignored social justice and promised to improve welfare.
Irina Khakamada
Khakamada, the daughter of a Japanese Communist who took Soviet citizenship in the 1950s, emerged as Putin's most outspoken critic. A member of the State Duma for eight years, she lost her seat in 2003. She was a member of the Union of Rightist Forces, but did not run as a party candidate. "I am not afraid of the terrorists in power," she told the daily newspaper Kommersant. "Our children must grow up as free people. Dictatorship will not be accepted."

(21 Mar 2000) Russian/Nat
The acting Russian President has an approval rating of around 50 percent, according to the latest opinion polls ahead of Sunday's presidential election.
But, while Vladimir Putin has an almost unassailable lead over his rivals, he is not sitting back and taking it easy in the run up to the 26 March poll.
Putin toured a car factory in western Russia on Tuesday and announced a 20 percent rise in the minimum wage.

(21 Mar 2000) Russian/Nat
The acting Russian President has an approval rating of around 50 percent, according to the latest opinion polls ahead of Sunday's presidential election.
But, while Vladimir Putin has an almost unassailable lead over his rivals, he is not sitting back and taking it easy in the run up to the 26 March poll.
Putin toured a car factory in western Russia on Tuesday and announced a 20 percent rise in the minimum wage.
Just days before Russia's presidential election, acting President Vladimir Putin was on the political campaign trail in western Russia on Tuesday, visiting a car factory and chatting to defence workers.
The trip to Nizhny Novgorod, about 400 kilometres (250 miles) east of Moscow, was one of several Putin has taken in recent weeks.
Most workers at the factory, which makes Volga cars and defence equipment, believe Putin has already won the election.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"It looks like Putin will win. He's a new man in there. This is why people fell in love with him. People are tired of the other candidates who have been around for the last ten years."
SUPER CAPTION: Gennady Zagrebnoy, Car factory worker
Putin drove the new model Volga car and gave it his acting Presidential seal of approval.
Trips like the one to the car plant are seen as an apparent bid to boost his commanding lead before Sunday's vote even though Putin has insisted that he is not campaigning.
Putin also announced on Tuesday that he had signed a decree raising the minimum wage for state workers by 20 percent from April 1.
The minimum wage for state workers is lower than the average monthly wage for other Russian workers, which is approximately 1,700 rubles (US 60 dollars) a month.
Putin's closest challenger, Communist party leader Gennady Zyuganov, is polling at about 20 percent.
The 10 other candidates are not seen as major threats.
Analysts say the biggest concern now is whether Putin will get more than 50 percent of the vote and avoid a runoff with Zyuganov.

I chose to make two election videos because Russia has a semi-presidential system in which a president exists alongside a prime minister and a cabinet. You can watch the video about the legislative elections here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5kpo4t-Tog].
A modern map of Russia is used in the election of 1990 for the sake of simplicity.
The different names of the Communist Party are ignored and simplified in the video to just the “Communist Party”.
I can also point out that during the Soviet Union, most of the elections were not free... Furthermore, the elections under Vladimir Putin has been highly thought by various western countries to be corrupt. However, that is not for this video to judge. I merely present the results.

STORYLINE:
Former President Boris Yeltsin, who was instrumental in the final collapse of the Soviet Union, pushed Russia toward pluralism and a market economy, and launched the first war in Chechnya, has died, a Kremlin official said Monday.
He was 76.
The Interfax news agency cited an unidentified medical source as saying he had died of heart failure in the Kremlin Clinic Hospital.
Although Yeltsin was initially admired abroad for his defiance of the Communist system, many Russians will remember him mostly for presiding over the steep decline of their nation.
It was a period where the oligarchs came to the fore - an elite rich made billions from the state's resources, as the huge majority remained poor.
Thousands of tearful mourners filed past the open coffin of former President Boris Yeltsin on Wednesday 25th April, lighting candles and crossing themselves to the sound of chanted Orthodox prayers as foreign dignitaries headed to Moscow to pay their last respects.
Yeltsin's widow, Naina, and his two daughters sat dressed in black alongside the casket, which was draped in the Russian tricolour in the centre of the cathedral's nave.
He was buried at the Novodevichy cemetery

STORYLINE:
Former President Boris Yeltsin, who was instrumental in the final collapse of the Soviet Union, pushed Russia toward pluralism and a market economy, and launched the first war in Chechnya, has died, a Kremlin official said Monday.
He was 76.
The Interfax news agency cited an unidentified medical source as saying he had died of heart failure in the Kremlin Clinic Hospital.
Although Yeltsin was initially admired abroad for his defiance of the Communist system, many Russians will remember him mostly for presiding over the steep decline of their nation.
It was a period where the oligarchs came to the fore - an elite rich made billions from the state's resources, as the huge majority remained poor.
Thousands of tearful mourners filed past the open coffin of former President Boris Yeltsin on Wednesday 25th April, lighting candles and crossing themselves to the sound of chanted Orthodox prayers as foreign dignitaries headed to Moscow to pay their last respects.
Yeltsin's widow, Naina, and his two daughters sat dressed in black alongside the casket, which was draped in the Russian tricolour in the centre of the cathedral's nave.
He was buried at the Novodevichy cemetery

Presidential elections were held in Russia on 26 March 2000. Incumbent Prime Minister and acting President Vladimir Putin, who had succeeded Boris Yeltsin on his resignation on 31 December 1999, was seeking a four-year term in his own right and won the elections in the first round. Polling stations were opened from 8:00a.m. to 8:00p.m.
Putin's campaign press service announced that he decided not to use the free radio and television time provided to all candidates and not to take part in TV debates. A number of other candidates explained this as a refusal to clarify his position on various controversial issues. However, during the campaign Putin excessively often appeared on TV screens as a newsmaker.
