  • Putin's Return Puts Future in Doubt
    Orbital odyssey Spaceflight Investing in aspirations do not get much bigger than a hotel in orbit but the reality is rather more down­to­earth RUSSIA Page 4 FINANCIAL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT | Tuesday October 4 2011 www.ft.com/investing­russia­2011 | twitter.com/ftreports Putin’s return puts future in doubt Now that uncertainty over the leadership has been removed, attention has turned to the longer term. Charles Clover reports or the Kremlin to do some- thing utterly predictable is quite rare. For this reason, the return of Vladimir Putin as FRussia’s president next May managed to take Russia’s political class by sur- prise. Mr Putin’s return, announced on September 24, lays to rest the prin- cipal source of intrigue over the past four years. Ever since he avoided constitutional prohibition on a third term in 2008 by appointing his friend Dmitry Medvedev to the presidency while he became prime minister, Moscow polit- ical circles have speculated about his return. Now that this uncertainty has been cleared up, the chattering classes are wondering what the third (and likely fourth) Putin term will bring. Things have not gone well thus far – the very announcement was botched, taking not only the public by surprise, but also the most senior gov- ernment officials. The decision that Mr Medvedev would take over as prime minister Changing places: Vladimir Putin (left) with current president Dmitry Medvedev at the United Russia party’s congress, where Medvedev announced the return of his predecessor Getty next year, meanwhile, provoked a row with Alexei Kudrin, the finance minis- Raising investment is a priority for growth will be about increases in effi- speech to investors at a conference in ian political system.

  • Using Vote Counts' Digits to Diagnose
    Using Vote Counts’ Digits to Diagnose Strategies and Frauds: Russia∗ Walter R. Mebane, Jr.† August 11, 2013 ∗Prepared for presentation at the 2013 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Asso- ciation, Chicago, August 29–September 1, 2013. †Professor, Department of Political Science and Department of Statistics, University of Michigan, Haven Hall, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1045 (E-mail: [email protected]). Abstract Tests of the digits of vote counts have been proposed to diagnose election fraud. Both the second-digit Benford’s-like Law (2BL) and the idea that the last digits should be uniformly distributed have been proposed as standards for clean elections. Many claim that election fraud is rampant in recent Russian federal elections (since 2004), so Russia should be a good setting in which to see whether the digit tests add any diagnostic power. Using precinct-level data from Russia, I first use a randomization test to identify sets of precincts (called UIKs in Russia) in which vote counts for candidates are augmented compared to vote counts in a comparison sets of UIKs. These are a subset of UIKs in which turnout percentages or the percentage of votes for Putin (or United Russia) are divisible by five. Then I run tests of the second and last digits of the UIK vote counts both for the entire set of UIKs in an election year and separately for various sets of UIKs. The digit tests produce surprising and on balance implausible results. For example, they suggest that none of the votes for Putin in 2004 and 2012 or for United Russia in 2011 were fraudulent, while votes for Medvedev in 2008 were fraudulent.

President Putin's reforms were directed at both the supply and demand side of the electoral market. By mandating that 50% of regional legislative seats be reserved for political parties, political parties became viable electoral vehicles for politicians. Concurrently, Putin regulated the supply of parties by raising membership requirements.
