Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin rejected reviewing the results of disputed Russian parliamentary polls, stressing he did not need any dirty "tricks" to win presidential elections next year.

"The elections are over. There can be no talk of any review," Putin told a meeting of his All-Russian Popular Front that rallies support for him.
"There is only one way prescribed by law -- an appeal to court," he said, adding he needed "no tricks" to win people's support in the presidential vote.

Putin also slammed the opposition as lacking any clear aims.
"They have no united program, clear ways of reaching their aims -- which are themselves not clear -- or people who could achieve something concrete”, he said in comments broadcast by state television.
“And then you get a situation when people talk about delegitimizing and devaluing everything that goes on in public life and above all elections".

The Russian strongman once again belittled the protest movement, saying they were more interested in creating instability than achieving concrete aims.

 "Of course, our country... always has, always had and always will have forces for whom what is important is not the development prospects, but constant Brownian motion," he said, referring to the theory on the random movement of particles.

But he added: "I will repeat again -- there are, were and always will be such people. They have the right to exist and I think that really, they should be treated with respect."
