There is no vice president, instead, a prime minister is chosen. The election in Russia does not consist of a running mate. "There are four branches of power in Russia including Legislative, Judiciary, Executive, and the Central Bank."

It would also seem as if this process goes for the prime minister as well.

In Russia, voting is similar to how it is in the US. However, voting is directly from the people and not like the electoral college. Normally, people in government would vote for who ever they wanted to win. The year 1996 was when citizens over 18 could vote that weren't considered incompetent or imprisoned. Every vote goes to that president, and who ever gets over 50% of the votes wins. If nobody gets over 50%, then a re-election is done for the top two president candidates. The President is elected every six years, with a two consecutive term limit.
