| − | Как объясняет сайт избирательной комиссии Владимирской области, на обоих участках одержала победу «Единая Россия». На участке 452 правящая партия получила 91,86%, за «Справедливую Россию» здесь проголосовали 6,75%, остальные партии удостоились менее 1% голосов избирателей. Похожая ситуация сложилась и на участке 453 — здесь 90,55% получила ЕР, 7,99% — СР. Остальные партии не преодолели однопроцентный барьер. |

| − | ==Scale of the fraud== |
||
| − | |||
| − | Among the evidences of the large-scale fraud, the easiest to verify is the result of the preliminary count of votes. |
||
| − | While not all ballots were counted, the total amount of votes is supposed to be smaller than 100%, but in several regions it happened to be significantly larger than 100%. In particular, for the Rostov region, the [[Churov]]'s functionaries reported 146% of votes in total. This is considered as an evidence, that of order of 46% of fake ballots were dropped by the falsifiers in favor of the ruling party. It would not be possible to provide such a huge fraud without the centralized approval; so, one may expect, that the similar persentage of the fake ballots were added in other regions too. This indicates that at the honest election, the [[edro]] would count with only 4% of votes instead of 49% reported as the result of the election. This gave hint to the cartoon, where [[Vladimir Churov]] proposes the new arithmetics for idiots: from the pessimistic estimate 4% and the more "optimistic" estimate 9%, he makes for the [[edro]] the resulting estimate of 49% votes reported. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There are also other estimates suggested, that the only from 20 to 25 percent among the resulting 49 [[edro]]'s percents are fake <ref name="barren"> |

||
| − | "I do not agree with any slogans or statements made at the rallies. Nevertheless, instructions have been given by me to check all information from polling stations regarding compliance with the legislation on elections," Medvedev said in a post on the social media site. |
||
| − | </ref>. Several authors consider the statement by Medvedev as a funny joke, because in the same message Medvedev had declared:"I do not agree with any slogans or statements made at the rallies.", while the frequent slogan at the Rallies demands nothing more but "the honest election for Russia". |

| − | </ref>. That table shows that of order of 13% votes are altered at the last stages of the falsification. All the alterations reported are in favor of [[edro]].

| − | Of order of 10<sup>5</sup> protesters are reported to assist the meeting at Moscow 2011.12.10. The actual amount is difficult to evaluate, because the "Bolotnaya ploschad" assigned for the meeting by the officials of Moscow happened to be too small for such a huge amount of people; the large region of Moscow was covered with Citizen who had expressed very critical opinions about the honesty of the election, about the head of the Central Election Committee [[Vladimir Churov]], about the ruling party [[edro]] and their leader [[Vladimir Putin]]. |
