Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin visit the United Russia party campaign headquarters after the preliminary results were announced
“Given this outcome, we will undoubtedly be able to ensure our country’s continued stable development,” Vladimir Putin said of the preliminary results in the State Duma elections.

Vladimir Putin’s address:

Friends, we are here now in United Russia’s campaign headquarters, but I would like to say a few words to everyone across the country, and primarily those who voted for the party, who supported it.

I would like to say that although recent times have been difficult for the country, despite the crisis, despite the fact that the country’s leading political force, United Russia, continues to bear particular responsibility for all that has happened throughout that difficult period – both losses and achievements – despite all these difficulties and the responsibility which is incumbent upon the party, the people –  our electorate – have reaffirmed its standing as the country’s leading political force. This is the optimal result, one that correctly reflects the current situation in the country. This is the first thing I wanted to say.

Second, given this outcome, we will undoubtedly be able to ensure our country’s continued stable development. I am grateful to everyone who has helped bring this result about. Thank you very much!
