Russia's State Duma elections concluded with preliminary results indicating a victory for "United Russia," which reportedly secured 355 seats, maintaining and even increasing its constitutional majority. The elections, held over three days, marked the first parliamentary vote during the full-scale war with Ukraine. The final day of voting was reportedly marred by drone attacks on Moscow, targeting an oil refinery in Kapotnya, and widespread reports of ballot stuffing and irregularities in voter procedures.

The Central Election Commission, led by Ella Pamfilova, acknowledged only three violations despite numerous reports from observers. The "Yabloko" party, an anti-war political group whose federal list was previously disqualified, reportedly managed to gain representation in the Nizhny Novgorod legislative assembly. A program discussing the election outcomes, opposition's role, and alleged falsifications is scheduled to feature political analyst Abbas Gallyamov and election expert Roman Udot.
