Have many sources said that he could possibly run again for President in 2018? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kahtar22 ( talk • contribs) 01:07, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
Information about Navalny's presidential bid should be updated according to the latest news: https://apnews.com/147dd51bc6c04107901952fe89dd13f2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.218.182.23 ( talk) 13:33, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
Should we make a separate article for his campaign, along the style of Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016 and Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016? Navalny has a campaign website ( https://2018.navalny.com/) and is trying to style his along American lines. Romanov loyalist ( talk) 01:01, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
New candidate...

Why isn't Putin in the potential candidates section for United Russia? He's been included in polls and he hasn't ruled out running as far as I know. -- HighFlyingFish ( talk) 19:15, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello. This was my edit - Putin is now listed as a potential independent candidate a) because he hasn't been part of United Russia since 2012 (see
https://themoscowtimes.com/news/putin-quits-united-russia-and-urges-medvedev-to-take-control-14341), and b) because the Russian media has reported that he is most likely considering running as an independent in order to appear as the president "for all Russians" rather than those who support United Russia (see:
https://themoscowtimes.com/articles/putin-likely-to-run-as-independent-in-2018-presidential-election-58309).

An IP is continuously pushing unsupported information into this article. For example, adding candidates to the infobox who have not even started collecting the signatures required to run, let alone been approved and registered by the CEC. I have pointed this out several times, but the user continues to go back to his or her unsourced and incorrect versions, stating "Put things like they were". The same IP address has been involved in similar vandalism on other pages. -- YantarCoast ( talk) 21:25, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
He seems not to be officially registered by the CEC yet. Along with several other candidates, he was allowed to open an official bank account for his campaign. Max Shakhray ( talk) 19:51, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
The consensus is against excluding Alexei Navalny's campaign from the Campaigning section.
Alexei Navalny's campaign section should be deleted his not a candidate anymore/ 2 his campaign section is to much more then other candidates. Max.Moore ( talk) 02:11, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Shall we really pretend Putin is an independent candidate and assign him the grey color? He's the previous president of United Russia, got elected as its candidate and is leading the All Russia alliance. I don't think we're bound to assign him an independent color because of his official candidature, but rather should try to be informative of the real political forces at play here.-- Aréat ( talk) 19:43, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Golos is reporting over 2,500 reports of violations. [1] Yet, Golos is not mentioned once in this article. It needs to be added somewhere, but I'm not sure where. – Muboshgu ( talk) 22:07, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
It would be be good to see more balance in the "reactions" section. As of right now, it's entirely criticisms. But there were actually a fair number of world leaders who congratulated Putin on his victory, including:
Azerbaijan: http://tass.com/world/994922
Belarus: http://tass.com/world/994926
Cuba: http://tass.com/world/994906
Kazakhstan: http://tass.com/world/994907
Serbia: http://tass.com/world/994864
Venezuela: http://tass.com/world/994911
Also, the article states: "The opposition said the results were rigged, reporting ballot stuffing and other cases of alleged fraud..."
But who exactly is this "opposition" that this is referring to?
Is this the Communist Party of Pavel Grudinin, who came in second place with about 12% of the vote?
Is it the fascist "Liberal Democrat" party of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who came in third place with about five and a half percent of the vote?
Or is this referring specifically to the PRO-WESTERN-opposition - i.e. candidates like Ksenia Sobchak, the most successful of the pro-western candidates, who came in fourth place with 1.67% of the vote?
And, assuming it's the latter, are Sobchak and her supporters alleging that she's actually the legitimate winner of the election, but that there was fraud on such a massive scale as to make her percentage appear in the low single digits? Or are they simply saying that her actual vote percentage was really a bit higher - perhaps three or four percent?...
All of this needs to be better fleshed out - who specifically is making these allegations, and what specifically they're alleging. - 2003:CA:83CC:6400:317B:8A14:F3D1:6E4F ( talk) 09:41, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

This is from the large table. Is it English? I can read the words, but I do not know what the sense of them is.
Despite the fact that Communist Party leader and perennial candidate Gennady Zyuganov said his nomination was supported by all leftist forces and he would participate in the elections on behalf of the party, the Zhigulyovsk branch of the party voted to supported the candidacy of Pavel Grudinin, who also won the primaries of Left Front, a coalition of left-wing parties with no representation in the State Duma. Grudinin did not deny his nomination from the Communist Party.[36] On 21 December 2017 it was reported that Zyuganov proposed to nominate Grudinin.[37] Initially the Communist Party and the National Patriotic Forces of Russia (NPFR) planned to nominate a single candidate: Grudinin (supported by the Communists) or Yury Boldyrev (supported by the NPFR). Boldyrev also participated in the primaries of Left Front in which he lost in the second round to Grudinin.[38] According to the Deputy Alexander Yushchenko, Zyuganov was still among the candidates for the nomination. He named the other candidates as Yury Afonin, Sergey Levchenko and Leonid Kalashnikov. On 22 December Zyuganov, Levchenko and Kalashnikov withdrew their bids, and Zyuganov rejected the candidacies of Afonin and Boldyrev, leaving Grudinin as the sole candidate.[39] Grudinin was officially nominated at the party congress on 23 December.[40] Zyuganov is the head of Grudinin's presidential campaign.[41] Grudinin filed registration documents with the CEC on 28 December[42] and 9 January 2018.[43] Jd2718 ( talk) 04:43, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
There is very little talk about open election fraud that took place in Russia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94hxUsuqJxs You can easily find more proof (if you wish). So, why are you not adding this, and locking the page instead? Tegra 85.64.40.239 ( talk) 13:16, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
I agree. There should be inclusion of material about this.
