The first Duma election of the war, and a managed one: the Supreme Court struck Yabloko, the only anti-war party on the ballot, from the party-list contest six weeks before polling, voting was extended into occupied Ukrainian territory, and the CEC's determined result gave United Russia a record three-quarters of the chamber.
