The dominating news story coming out of Russia this Monday morning is coverage of the parliamentary elections. Amidst allegations of electoral trouble-making, and oppressive control of media and unequal coverage for all candidates, Putin's party United Russia appears very strong and popular.
Check out these links various sources for coverage:
NPR: "Russia's Putin Helps Party to Landslide Victory" and "Election Monitors Question Putin's Victory"
New York Times: "Russia Vote Criticized; Putin’s Plans Still Unclear"
"Voices From Russia: a Sampling of Voters’ Views"
International Herald Tribue: "Landslide election ushers in questions for Russia"
BBC: "Monitors denounce Russia election"
