Can't find any English sources, but here's the link to what appears to be the source for most of the charts: http://peregrins.com/elect/results.csv.gz
And here is the official (government-provided) results: http://www.izbirkom.ru/region/izbirkom, also in Russian, but Chrome does an OK job translating it.
I did NOT check if the table from the first link is consistent with the data in the official results. Somebody more determined than I should do that. This page: http://eugenyboger.livejournal.com/4514.html publishes the scripts used for composing the csv file from the official results.

fraud methods don't vary from election to election.

#7So what's exactly your problem with that? Like elections in U.S.A, Britain or almost everywhere else where elections are anonymous is not completely fraud process?! Why aren't you trying to solve your own internal problems instead of crying on "fraud elections in russia"? Yes, it's obivious, but it is not your business at all.

#9Now, here's the funny part.
It is widely speculated in the Russian part of the Internets that this fraud is not Putin's doing, but rather a frame-up for Putin's party aimed at stirring shit up in the country. The ruling party would've gotten what they needed without this mess, and the voting fraud is allegedly a very rough hack job that was meant to be obvious.

well, if you add "registered voters" who isn't a living breathing person registered at the given district (i.e. so called "dead souls") than you can easily get beyond the 100%.
Honestly, even i (whose opinion about the old country can rarely be made worse than it is) am impressed with the scale of the fraud. Well, 10+ years living outside of the country ... When i was leaving, the kickbacks on government contracts were 20-30%. Recently i learned that kickbacks are normally 75%+ these days. Strangely these numbers looks similar to what i thought and what really is the scale of the fraud.
