The result is very predictable: Three pro-Kremlin parties win the vast majority of seats, Communists are the only opposition party to win seats and are communists, the real opposition in Yabloko and the Union of Right Forces declines even further (although they already lost all of their seats last go-round).

The only three parties in Russia with anything approaching an ideology are Yabloko (center-left), URF (center-right) and the Communists (communist, duh). The others are just institutional hacks with no differences or ideologies whatsoever.

Which was the dictator that used 'guided Democracy' as a slogan?

I thought that was what the Thai military called their "political system"?

Pretty sure what happened in Moscow was ballot-stuffing for UR, not full-fledged fabrication of the results like what happened in Chechnya and probably some places elsewhere.
