Putin gets 63.74 percent of votes: 33.5% of the ballots have already been summarized.

Ria Novosti - Russian Prime Minister and presidential candidate Vladimir Putin said he “won” the Sunday elections in a “fair and open fight,” calling the vote a “test” for Russians citizens’ “political maturity.”
“Thank you everyone who said 'yes' to a great Russia,” Putin said, addressing his supporters on downtown Moscow Manezhnaya Square. “We have won.”
“Those were not just presidential elections,” he said. “This was a test of [our] political maturity and independence. We have shown that no-one can bestow anything upon us.”
According to preliminary results, Putin is leading the race with about 63.74 of the vote. His closest competitor Gennady Zyuganov, has gained about 17.26 percent of the vote, businessman Mikhail Prokhorov gained 7.15 percent, Liberal-Democratic party leader Vladimir Zhirinovski - 6.99 percent, and A Just Russia’s Sergei Mironov gained 3.73 percent of votes.
Putin was accompanied by outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev as he marched through Manezhnaya Square to address his supporters. The scene was reminiscent of a similar occasion on Red Square in 2008, in which Putin and Medvedev appeared together before their supporters after Medvedev was elected president.
Pro-Putin activists on Manezhnaya Square met their leader with enthusiasm, a RIA Novosti correspondent said. However, by the time Putin spoke, many of his supporters, who police said numbered 110,000, had already left the square.
