He recalled that the single voting day ended in Russia on Sunday.

"The elections were held at a proper level, with law and order and all security precautions being observed," he said. "The election campaign in general was held in a calm atmosphere, despite numerous unfriendly countries’ attempts at interfering into the campaign, such as hacker attacks on the internet resources of the Central Election Commission and regional election commissions, hoax bomb threats at poling stations. Thus, more than 30,000 such attacks have been rebuffed since early June."
