Sorry, are there any English sources for this stuff?

Re: Russian legislative elections 2011 - statistical evidence of vote fraud
#12Now, 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.
according to that graph in the article

the same frame-up was attempted in 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, etc... It is a nice double pay scheme that is completely in the nature of the current Russian regime - to get and stay in power through election fraud and blame the fraud on the opposition at the same time.

It's not being blamed on the opposition from what I can tell, but rather quite squarely on the US that is meddling with Russia's internal affairs.

Not at all. The majority of the people aren't that fool. I'd say you can't fool others at all: earlier or later this gets discovered.
A small number of the ruling party supporters do suppose this. I guess part of them are real zealots, but there is another part that are just paid for blog & news comments. (Screenshots of announcements of such jobs were circulating recently.)
Now, the problem is if we (Russians) can achieve anything with this evidence. The quality of the political opposition is very low. Most of them do fight each other more than work for the people's needs.

#19140% on the spot!
In this case it's an obvious fraud, but technically such an outcome is possible and legal: voters can take a special paper and vote at another spot, rather than their home one (say, if they are in another city). So, in theory 140% can be achieved.

#20I can't help it but I'm missing comparison for the non-Putin elections. Did it look the same? Perhaps not that many things are normally distributed in Russia...
