hersan. joining us on this edition of the news review, we have press tv's very own johnny miller joining us from moscow, also we have journalist activist and political analyst mr. john boz joining us from belgrade. let's start off with press tv's johnny miller in moscow, johnny uh... block us through uh what's uh taking place during the uh three days uh as russians go to the polls and about the significance of this election as well? well the first day of polling is practically at an end, local reports say 20% of russian people have already voted. i spoke to one woman today who told me she's never voted before, but she's going to vote this time. she didn't tell me who she's going to vote for. it's quite implike question to ask here in russia. i've tried my best to most people. answer it as well, it's rather than polite to to answer it either, but though one man told me there's only one man to vote for and that's who i'm voting for, by what else he told me, i suspect that he was voting for vladimir
7:52 am
putin, uh, vladimir putin will win the election, i won't even say almost certainly, he certainly will win the election, the main reason being is that he's very popular uh, the economy despite the fact that russia is fighting major conflict, a war, special military operation, call it what you will, against. ukraine, some say the whole of the collective west, russian economy is stay very strong, and indeed is growing, politically, it's very stable, and vladimir putin remains very popular, so the main reason he will win the election, um, and i think many people have criticized in russia or question why they're holding an election now, they are fighting, major conflict, but i think it's also part of just the kind of stability that the russian government wants to project, that the country is running along smoothly if you. here in moscow or elsewhere in russia, daily life does continue as normal, it feels like there's a war at the edge of the empire so to speak, but life continues, and that's very much what this election is proving, was uh
7:53 am
certain attempts to destabilize russia, particularly from ukraine, drones, attacks in the belgrad region, other events around russia try to destabilize russia in this election, but certainly it does feel a very stable, the election is going uh going going ahead as planned and the russian government. does seem strong and confident going forward. the issue of the economy was something that our correspondent johnny miller just brought up, mr. bozic, i want you to break that down for us as well as we know uh in spite of uh the uh dire predictions of many critics, uh russia has actually been successful in evading western sanctions and its economy has outperformed those uh expectations. how is that going to play into the uh uh to the voters minds and the elections uh at this point in time right now? you know, i've had the privilege and the good fortune of being personally involved in some of these
7:54 am
transformations. i was the advisor to the japanese prime minister's office at the time that we negotiated on behalf of japan for the building of the espo pipeline, the eastern siberia to pacific ocean pipeline, and that pipeline has become the economic life, life blood of russia and and from the revenues from that pipeline, russia has been able to build its links internationally and to finance the redevelopment of agriculture. russia was agricultural importer and now is an exporter. russia is now one of the world's leading oil, petroleum product exporters. russia is producing domestic retail goods, and russia has built an alliance of steel, literally pipeline of energy and retail products interchange with china. at the perfect time, because china is under sanctions from the united states and it has turned its eyes towards russia as a commercial and retail market, there couldn't
