Russian officials reported United Russia won 58% of the vote in last weekend's State Duma election with record turnout, and Putin claimed the results show Russians support the war effort and 'cannot be intimidated.' However, independent analysts estimate the real, unmanipulated result was closer to 34-35%, citing ballot stuffing, coerced turnout monitoring of public-sector workers, and reports of tally sheets being rewritten in Moscow. Activists in St. Petersburg, Perm, Izhevsk and Kazan have filed notices for protests against the alleged fraud.
