Vladimir Putin's ruling United Russia party currently looks set to garner around 45 percent of the vote, followed by the Communists' 20 percent and the right-wing nationalist LDPR's 10 percent.
- This means that Putin-loyal parties that will have a total majority in the lower house Duman, says Bert Sundström in Morgonstudion.
At the same time, far from everyone is happy with the result.
The election has been marked by accusations of silence of opposition voices, electoral fraud and attacks on the media.
However, the country's election commission has said that the election was conducted according to all the rules of art.
- It is said that there have been some attempts at electoral fraud, but that they have been stopped.
Those who are outside the system, on the other hand, say of course that this is just another step in an undemocratic order and that the election cannot be taken seriously, says Bert Sundström.
