- United Russia won a record 355 parliamentary seats, retaining its majority and securing a supermajority in Russia's parliamentary vote according to DW, Reuters, and CNN headlines.
- An anti-war party secured only a tiny regional foothold in the election, underscoring the absence of any meaningful opposition bloc on the ballot.
Why it matters: The 355-seat record and supermajority strip away remaining legislative constraints on Putin, while the anti-war party's 'tiny regional foothold' confirms no credible opposition surfaced — the predictable result locks in uncontested Kremlin control of policy and parliament.
