Ist mit Alexej Nawalny in Haft das Oppositionsproblem für Wladimir Putin gelöst? Nein. In der Provinz gewinnen Kandidaten Wahlen, die eigentlich nicht siegen sollten.

In both Khabarovsk Krai, in the Russian Far East, and Vladimir Oblast, just east of Moscow, handpicked Kremlin candidates lost second-round run-offs to members of Russia’s Liberal Democratic Party - but despite its name, the party is a decidedly undemocratic, nationalistic party, reportedly linked to the mafia.
