Moscow: Russia formalised on Thursday President Vladimir Putin's victory in last week's presidential election, dismissing scathing criticism by the West and independent Russian observers that it was the most corrupt vote in post-Soviet history.
The three-day vote last weekend saw Putin cruise to an easy victory for a fifth Kremlin term, unchallenged by any meaningful opposition.
The election was also held in occupied Ukraine and voting took place two years into Moscow's offensive.
Russia's electoral chief Ella Pamfilova said final results showed Putin won 87.28 percent of the vote.
She called the election -- which sees Putin's 24-year rule extended by another six years -- "historic."
