Никаких нарушений я не заметил. На участках я разговаривал с наблюдателями от кандидатов, с голосовавшими. И в процессе общения с людьми, в процессе пребывания на участках я не заметил никаких видимых нарушений.

«Первый раз я приехал сюда после злостной атаки на Южную Осетию, когда в августе 2008 года по приказу Михаила Саакашвили Грузия атаковала Цхинвал. Я сразу выразил тогда свое несогласие с действиями грузинской стороны, полностью поддержал Россию, которая оказала вам содействие в защите от этой агрессии. У меня состоялся разговор с людьми из либерально-демократической партии Японии. И мне удалось убедить их, что и Россия, и Южная Осетия действуют правильно в этом конфликте»

Corresponding elections

Presidential Election Russia 2018
legitimate
The seventh presidential election in Russia was held on 18 March 2018. With the exception of the election in Russia-annexed Crimea, this election is considered legitimate. The election held in Crimea for the Russian presidency is internationally considered to be an illegitimate election, see more on this at the election page 2018 Russian presidential election in annexed Crimea. The election took place under restrictions on fundamental freedoms and limited space for political engagement.
Parliamentary Election Unrecognized Republic of South Ossetia 2019
illegitimate
On 9 June 2019, the so-called Republic of South Ossetia, located within the internationally recognised borders of Georgia, held “parliamentary elections”. The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations does not recognise the sovereignty of the Republic of South Ossetia, while international institutions such as the OSCE ODIHR considered “elections” there as illegitimate and did not send international election observers there.
