Russian voters discuss presidential election
Moscow residents tell Al Jazeera which candidates they preferred in the poll for next leader of the nation.
The citizens interviewed by Al Jazeera in the capital city seemed to reflect a typical range of views toward the election.
Elena, 28, said she voted for Putin “because for today [he] is the only candidate to be president of our country … did a lot of good things during his last time and he can do more this time once again … he’s more powerful as a human.”
Vladimir, a 31-year-old philosophy lecturer, said he voted for Mironov yet was “not sure it will change the situation … but I want that the [people in] power should know the opinion of the electorate”.
Anatoly, a 66-year-old pensioner, said, “At my age, I don’t need any changes. I want stability. I’m satisfied, and [people like] Zyuganov did nothing”.
