Round-table discussion in the press center of the Parliamentary Newspaper "Single day of voting: The results." First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Energy Yury Lipatov recalled the recent changes in the law that allow permanent elections to be avoided. All parties present in the State Duma decided to systematize the elections, and, in his opinion, it was reasonable. Although, of course, the day of the election was held in different regions in different ways.
Political analyst, Chair of General Politics at the Higher School of Economics Leonid Polyakov believes that the increased political competition and the inclusion of new participants gave further legitimacy to the electoral process and gave the ruling party an opportunity to demonstrate its real potential. It is essential that the political process included almost everyone, except the extremists. The higher the competition, the more valuable the results are. The expert also shared his opinion on the elections in Dagestan and Ingushetia, and spoke of how he assesses the political figures who have won the elections - Yunus- Bek Yevkurov and Ramazan Abdulatipov.
