2 Television exit Polls, Published After The Voting Ended at 1700 GMT, The Provisions of The Prime Minister Would Win 59.3 and 58.3 Percent of The Vote, Easily Enough to Make a Run off Against Unnecessary Candidate 2.
Its Closest Rival, Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov, Fell below 20 Percent In Exit Polls of Both. Zyuganov said his Party will Not Recognize the Official Results of the Elections, Calling it "unlawful, Dishonest and not Very Transparent."
Putin Quickly Dismissed Allegations of Fraud, Which will Be Repeated at Opposition protests on Monday.
"This is The Cleanest Elections in the History of Russia," said Stanislav Govorukhin, his Campaign manager. "The Violations of Our Rivals and Opponents of Our President now Speaks of are Laughable."
Official Results are Not Expected That Most Polling Stations Until Monday.
However, Putin, 59, is Expected to Portray his Return to Office after 4 years as Prime Minister is a Strong Public Support Against The Protesters,Who has Been Portrayed as a Minority and the Pawns of the Foreign Governments.
A Huge Crowd of Supporters of Putin Mostly Young People gathered at a Square outside the Kremlin During the Night, waving Russian Flags. Hundreds of Buses that Took Them to the Capital in a well organized Force Stood.
Former KGB Spy is also Expected to Return to the Kremlin to Talk Tough fight Against the West, a Trademark of his 1 term and the Election Campaign. Economists said a key Test of Putin Would return to what Extent he was Willing to go to Reform an Economy heavily Dependent on Energy exports.
But Putin's Opponents Said The Vote in Many Parts of the Vast country Bent on Their Behalf and Pledged to Press Ahead With the Biggest Protests Since he Came to Power 12 Years ago.
"We Do Not consider this Election Legitimate," said Vladimir Ryzhkov, a Leader of The Opposition Protesters, Who Plan a New Rally Against Putin in Moscow on Monday.
Despite the Growing Opposition,Especially Among well-educated and Relatively Affluent Young Professionals in big cities, the support of Putin is still high in the provinces and his victory had not been in Doubt.
The Main Challenge For The Man Credited with a Credit card That many Russians with the Reconstruction of The Country's image and The Supervision of an Economic Boom, Was to win in the1 round.
This is Achieved By a Clear Margin. Exit Polls put Zyuganov in Order to Gain 18 Percent, and The Nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, The Former Speaker of Parliament, Sergei Mironov, and Billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, were all Under 10 Percent.
Some Voters Said Putin,Who Has Portrayed Himself as a Man of Action And Guardian of Stability,Was the Nation's leading hard Country and the World's Largest Producer of Energy Required.

Putin Has Remained Russia's dominant Leader and Its most Popular Politician and Step Aside in 2008 to Make way For His ally, Dmitry Medvedev, Because he Prevented a 3 consecutive Term by the Constitution.
However,Some Voters are 3 Of Their Macho Antics Like riding bare-chested, and a system that Concentrates Power in his Hands. They Fear he Could win Another Term of 6 years and The State until 2024 - almost as Long as Soviet Dictator Josef Stalin.
"They are Stealing our votes," said Valentin Gorshun, a Patient in Moscow Hospital number 19, Where Over 90 Percent of The Votes Went to United Russia in December.
"It's probably the same in all hospitals," he said. "I think we are preparing a massive falsification. Emperor Putin has Decided Everything."
Rate Monitors and Opposition Bloggers published Allegations of Electoral Fraud in the Country of 143 Million. Golos, an independent Monitoring group, said it had Recorded at least 3,100 Complaints of Violations nationwide.
