Russian state media has announced the preliminary results of the so-called referendums being held in occupied parts of Ukraine. With about a fifth of votes counted, it is reported that an overwhelming majority have voted in favour of joining Russia:

• 97% in Kherson region
• 98% in Zaporizhzhia
• 98% in “Donetsk People’s Republic”
• 98% in “Luhansk People’s Republic”

Ukraine and Western nations have called the process a sham, claiming the results had already been decided.

How do you vote Comrade? Voting for Russia means I save a bullet!

I see it's the half of Zaporizhzhia that doesn't include the capital of the oblast.

Many years ago I was chatting with my Austrian friend's mother. She was an ex-Nazi. She showed me phots of voting tents used in the Anschluss referendum. She was dressed in a swimsuit outside the Yes Tent and the were armed soldiers outside the No Tent.
