Russian opposition parties in the State Duma will not be able to revise the results of regional elections, but the authorities will pay more attention to them, analysts say.










In past years, I have always defended the elections in Russia. However after this past election. I will defend no more. I see no point to people voting in Russia. It is a complete joke. You can spin it how you want, but the elections are a joke. The cleanest election was the last one held in USSR. The elections have become more and more corrupt. I would have more respect for the Russian government, if the government were truthful about the fixed votes and stop all election. As it stands now, Russia has no real elections.
