Oh, so the Russians have two major pretend parties that are actually the same party?
Several; everyone in the Duma right now is “United Russia” in all but name. Take a look at what the minor parties stand for: Just Russia is “social-democratic” and the Liberal Democrats are “pan-Slavic” (cf. pan-Germanism and pan-Arabism; they even have a youth organization reminiscent of a certain other regime).
And it ought to speak volumes that the old Communist Party is allowed any representation in the Duma at all, never mind being the second-largest in terms of said representation.
