"It means that Greens/Reform etc cannot run as a block . They either become one party or run separate."
But if I understand what's happening in Russia correctly, they wont even be allowed to run separately. Is that correct?

Small parties can run all they want, they just have to run as themselves, not riding the coat tales of the communists and other bigger parties. Now they actually have to sell their ideas to the public instead of getting a hand out.
