Parliamentary elections in Russia, WTF???

I know that writing in this blog about politics a little strange, but I have here's tag "fun", so I'll try.
Yesterday in Russia held parliamentary elections. Political activity of ordinary citizens was very high (people become volunteers, observers, simply agitated in the social networks and blogs). The main tendency was a VOTE FOR ANY PARTY except the party "United Russia" (Putin, Medvedev). "United Russia" often called the Party of crooks and thieves.
As a result - the elections were held with appalling fraud and United Russia won (about 50%)
It's fun photos from the night air of the main Russian news channel (financed and controlled by the government), when the voting results announced by the various administrative districts (the first point in the table - United Russia, red - the wonders of mathematics)

On election day, the sites of many independent media become unavailable, still not available the site of independent watchdog elections "Voice" and their project "Map of the violations". The election results are absolutely rigged.
If you want to read more about the elections in Russia and violations - here brief chronology in English (with Google translator)
