*I mean, in all likelihood if I had grown up in Russia, I would have probably voted for Medvedev, and probably Putin once or twice, but I'm imagining this list as someone who randomly up and moved to Russia and got citizenship c. 1990.

** Basically a strategic voter in these elections. Yabloko is probably closest to my political beliefs, but I'd switch to A Just Russia if I thought it had a significantly better shot at viability.

Medvedev is not good, to be clear. A Just Russia is a front party led by a man who was Chairman of the Federation Council, the third highest ranking Russian position, from 2001-2011, and who said, "We all want Vladimir Putin to be the next President."

The only two strongly anti-Kremlin parties are Yabloko and Civic Platform. The People's Freedom Party and the Party of Growth are also mostly anti-Putin and anti-Medvedev.

Not sure if your statement about Civic Platform would be true even in 2012 or 2013, but now it's just a corpse. Prokhorov lost control of it and it became an irrelevant United Russia puppet (it's new leader got a seat in Duma only because United Russia intentionally didn't field it's candidate there).

The anti-Maidan protests were bad, but some of Civic Platform is still like Prokhorov.
