88% is...... pretty weak in an un-opposed race, no?
Other candidates were Nikolay Kharitonov, the chairman of the Lower House's Far East
and Arctic Development Committee, who received 4.31% of votes, Leonid Slutsky, the
chairman of the Lower House's International Affairs Committee, with 3.20%, and Lower
House Deputy Chairman Vladislav Davankov who secured 3.85%, the data showed.

All Lower House members.
And according to some reports, all basically supporters of Putin.
Do you honestly think there was much in the way of campaigning going on?
Granted, from a Nationalist perspective, Putin has been good for his Country. And granted there were some "opponents" to his re-election. That doesn't change the fact the Russian democracy is a dictatorship by any standard definition of the term
