Valery Fedotov: “Don’t rush to bury us”

“...bloggers came in droves, confidently explaining: “United Russia” is a relic that cannot be taken seriously. It is about to be replaced by the ONF. People are ready to vote for anyone except the “party of swindlers and thieves,” so the victory of the opposition in any more or less fair elections. And so on, and so on. Yesterday's elections proved that it is too early to bury United Russia and it is impossible to write it off. United Russia remains the main political force of the country for the foreseeable future. This is unlikely to change in the future. Of course, I know about numerous reports of falsifications, stuffing, rewriting of protocols, etc. However, I highly doubt that this could have played a decisive role anywhere.”
