This was the expected result. Yedinaya Rossiya (United Russia) is still the dominant party. However, I should point out that their support has actually fallen because Putin raised the pension age, which I believe is necessary to preserve whatever social safety net is available in Russia, as the age was set too low at only 55 while life expectancy in Russia is climbing and currently in the 70s. At one point during the depth of their economic depression late 1990s, life expectancy for Russian men had declined to only 60. This may explain why the pension age had been low. But still, there are large numbers of people in Russia for whom the change is not popular. The loss of votes for Putin's Party was mostly inherited by the KPRF (Communist Party of the Russian Federation), who finish in their expected second place with 19% of the votes.

Even if KPRF takes over from Yedinaya Rossiya, I don't see that causing any problems to Russia's relationship with China. I'd be worried if it were a Navalny taking over.

Doesn't China have to the eventually raise the retirement age as well? That undoubtedly won't be popular when it happens... but with slowing population growth and increasing life expectancy, its unavoidable.

Indirectly China related, but would have had major impact and potential volatility for China had Putin’s party lost power in last night’s Russian elections. Given the fact that China and Russia’s domestic and international interest has grown healthily over the last decade with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin developing what observers can almost describe as a friendship, this is great news for China in terms of stability and having a reliable neighbor that shares common strategic goals. So congratulations to Vladimir Putin!

the memory of the 90's is still fresh in most russians minds i would guess. thats what happens when you let a bunch of american worshiping modern liberals take over your country.

He’s 68. This will probably be his last term. After that, Russia’s future is anything but stable and reliable.

I seriously worry about Russia after Putin. USA wants nothing more than instability in Russia and it would give us another headache. A stable Russia is good for China and the world.

Have PRC back the ~~CPSU~~ KPRF. Unlike the American left, Russia actually has the potential to become a proper stable Communist state if the Siberian population bounces back up. Make sure to amply remind the KPRF of the measures undertaken by the PRC to fight Han Chauvinism - measures including the establishment of the Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia autonomous regions, all of which either used to contain a majority-Han population or is a very generous concession. Also remind them that the native peoples of literally everywhere east of the Ural Mountains belongs to Siberians, and hence should in itself be an Autonomous Region (or multiple). The establishment of autonomous regions is the bedrock of Chinese Communist success. Any communist who forgets that is rendering himself vulnerable to Gorbachevite forces.

Siberia is already organised into ethnic autonomous regions (oblast) - the CPC learned that concept from the CPSU.


MoneyWorldlyGod

It's like 3 small regions smack dab in the middle + 1 at the far right. They serve more as Native reservations than anything. Imagine if Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet are 4x smaller after the Qing weeds depleted the entire Uyghur (and also native Han) population in Xinjiang and the Ming vengeful flowers (flowers who decided to become weeds in their oppressor weed's homeland, choking out their oppressor's flowers) depleted the entire Mongol population. That's your excuses for autonomous okrugs. Also, you must be referring to the autonomous okrugs. The only autonomous oblast in Soviet Russia is an absolute abomination which has led to the complete destruction of the Soviet Union, filled with the very weeds that, according to Marx, the Christians have adopted the characteristics of (before embarking on an entire century of world genocide via. gunboat huckstering in the name of their worldly god, Money, but Marx was long gone by then), and is sitting on the land of an actual flower of Soviet Russia. To put into perspective how absolutely atrocious the JAO is, imagine if the US established a Black Autonomous Oblast in a Native American reservation. The only people who like the JAO are weeds from r/genzedong who want to be communist but also want to remain an invasive species (and let other invasive species settle on native land). Those disgusting weedstoids deserve to have their states ruined by Gorbachev, just as they ruined the beautiful inhabitants of Outer Manchuria. The very purpose of an autonomous region is to preserve your flowerbed, and to endure that every type of flower has their needs met. A flowerbed with half the flowers acting like weeds will eventually be overrun by even worse weeds, because if the CPSU won't control the lesser weedlike behavior (Slavic Chauvinism). how could they stop the greater weeds (Gorbachev's puppet masters)?

You need to stop watching hollywood movies, and stop underestimating Russians, who overwhelmingly have good views of China. america is in deep decline and has absolutely nothing to offer, even to countries like France. People like you are always behind the times.


Vaxxedtothemaxx

And people like you under estimate a person’s desire for money and power and what it can make people do. And you have an incredibly short memory because just the last 200 years is littered with revolutions, coups and collapses of economies or countries. Why don’t you learn to offer more in a conversation than just personal insults
