description Russians go to the polls in September to choose a new Duma---the first national election since the parliamentary balloting of 2011 and the presidential vote of 2012. President Vladimir Putin and his opponents know that his party, United Russia, will retain its majority. But who gets how many seats is not necessarily the most important question. When, after the votes were counted in 2011, the Central Election Commission (CEC) announced that United Russia had received 49.32 percent---widely considered a phony number---the result was an explosion of protest and anti-regime anger. Will this year's vote reignite tensions or reinforce stability? Will it strengthen or weaken the existing system?
