According to political scientists, sociological services and the media, Vladimir Putin , appointed in 1999 as chairman of the government and acting as president, had the greatest chances of victory. The main intrigue was whether Putin would win in the first round or whether the second round would need to be held (re-voting).
Simultaneously with the election of the President of Russia, elections were held for the heads of four constituent entities of the Russian Federation - the Altai Territory , the Murmansk Region , the Jewish Autonomous Region , and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area .
Election
According to the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation” in 1995, the first Sunday after the expiration of the constitutional term for which the President of the Russian Federation was elected, and the calculation of this period began from the date of election, should have been the election day. If B. N. Yeltsin had completed his presidential term to the end, then in accordance with this law, the presidential elections in the Russian Federation should have been scheduled for July 9, 2000, that is, in the middle of summer.
On December 1, 1999, the State Duma adopted a new Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation”. This law has established that the day of voting in elections is the first Sunday of the month in which the vote was taken at the previous general elections of the President of the Russian Federation. In accordance with this law, the elections were to be scheduled for June 4, 2000. Again, if Yeltsin worked his term.
But on December 31, 1999, Yeltsin signed the law on presidential elections and resigned on the same day, handing over the presidential powers on the next day to the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, whom he declared in August to be his successor. In accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation”, early presidential elections must be held within three months.
On January 5, 2000, the Federation Council called elections on March 26 [4] .
Candidate nominations
For the period from January 14 to February 13, 2000, the Central Election Commission registered 28 initiative groups that nominated candidates for the presidency. Five more candidates were nominated by electoral associations - the Central Election Commission registered the representatives of these associations. There was little time to collect signatures - the subscription lists had to be submitted to the CEC no later than February 13. True, the required number of signatures due to the fact that the elections were early, was halved - to 500 thousand. Of the 33 candidates who passed the nomination stage, only 15 were able to submit signatures.

President Vladimir Putin made a flight from Krasnodar to Chechnya on a training and combat fighter Su-27, which increased its rating [6] . The union of volunteers - defenders of the White House in August 1991 in support of democratic reforms "Detachment" Russia "" actively participated in the collection of signatures on the nomination of V. V. Putin as a candidate for the post of President of the Russian Federation. During eight days from March 17 to March 24, 900 pickets were held in support of Putin’s election, where more than one hundred thousand copies of agitational literature were distributed [7] .
Other candidates held rallies and marches within the election.
On March 14, 2000, at a joint meeting of the faction and the coordinating council of the ATP bloc, the question of presidential elections was raised and, under pressure from A. Chubais, a decision was made to support V. Putin’s candidacy (out of 7 members of the Constitutional Court voted 4 in favor - A. Chubais, C Kiriyenko, E. Gaidar, V. Nekrutenko; K. Titov and B.

Election Estimates
The head of Putin’s election headquarters, Dmitry Medvedev, called the preliminary results of the presidential elections “excellent” and “absolutely democratic”. Medvedev also stressed that all the talk that a victory in the second round would be more desirable, but with great superiority, comes "from those who bet on other forces."
Speaking about the accusations made by the chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov, related to the possibility of violations during the voting, Dmitry Medvedev noted that Putin’s campaign headquarters did not have facts about significant violations. These statements were called by the head of staff "statements by the party that failed". [10]
The mission of the PACE and OSCE observers considered that “the elections, generally complying with the country's obligations as an OSCE and Council of Europe participant, showed some weaknesses. The most important among them is the pressure on the media and the reduction of credible pluralism ” [11] . The State Duma Commission paid a visit to Dagestan, after which its chairman, Alexander Saliy, published an article on alleged fraud [12] .
