Moscow. DELOVOI PETERBURG (ST.PETERSBURG). The Russian
Communist Party (KPRF) accuses United Russia bloc of counterfeiting the
parliamentary poll regarding the "Yabloko" bloc and the Union
of Right-Wing Forces (SPS). In estimates made by the Communists 33.47 percent
of electorate voted for the United Russia party, 12.62 percent - for the
Communist party, 10.77 percent - for the Motherland bloc (Rodina), 5.95
percent - for the "Yabloko" party and 5.11 percent - the Union
of the Right-Wing forces (SPS). In the words of Ilya Ponomarev, the Information
& technological department chief, the parliamentary poll was fairly
fair, but the United Russia party misappropriated some votes belonging
to "Yabloko" and the Union of Right-Wing Forces.
