Sin addition to the Central Electoral Commission (CEC), which found 13.88% of the votes, the Communist Party of Russia is the second most voted, with 13.67% of the votes.
The following are the ultranationalists of the Democratic Liberal Party of Russia, with 9.27%, and the liberals of the “New People2” with 7.96%. Finally, the “Just Russia” entered parliament as a fifth formation, with 5.16%.
As soon as the first results were known, the leader of “Just Russia”, Dmitri Medvedev, said that “the citizens of the country maintain confidence in the main political force.”.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has been convinced that the country's diplomatic course will not change after the first legislative elections since the beginning of the war.
The only pacifist party in Russia, Yabloko, excluded from the party lists, denounced numerous irregularities, in particular related to the impossibility of many Russians voting with ballots and the obligation to do so electronically, an instrument of fraud, according to the opposition.
The opposition in exile had appealed to the Russians against the war to support Yabloko in electoral circles and any party that would remove seats to the “United Russia” on the lists.
