There is a bizarre quality to some of the recent commentary on the Russian elections.

The party took part in the Russian legislative election, 1993 and won 14 seats.

All this, however, is not to say that the Russian election was no more than an elaborate referendum.

Putin won the Russian presidential election in 2004 without any significant competition.

His question was reflected in the results of the Russian parliamentary elections this month.

However, the party was unsuccessful and so did not contest the Russian legislative election, 2007.

This method was used with particular effectiveness in Russian presidential election, 2004.

He placed third in the 1996 Russian presidential election, with 14.5% of the vote nationwide.

In Russian parliamentary elections, 450 people are elected to the lower house.

The best thing about the Russian election was that it was held at all.
