摘要：
Despite United Russia's (Edinaya RossiyaUR) dominance in repeated Russian legislative elections, the correlates of the party's electoral support remain noticeably understudied beyond the influence of electoral manipulation. I pinpoint the specific contours of UR's strongholds in the two most recent parliamentary elections in Russia2007 and 2011focusing on raion- and regional-level correlates of the vote using an original dataset. UR has been undergirded by geographically concentrated ethnic minorities and the countryside, and these patterns of support have persisted even in the absence of fraud, suggesting that the dominant party's electoral windfalls cannot be attributed solely to electoral malfeasance.
