Turning red: Russia held elections to 39 regional parliaments last weeked. Here’s how the results played out.

Elections to local parliaments took place in 39 Russian regions last weekend (September 17-19), at the same time as the elections to the State Duma. In a new report, RBC breaks down how the voting results in these regions changed since the last elections in 2016. Though United Russia won the most votes in all 39 regional parliamentary elections, its victory wasn't as resounding as it was five years ago. By comparison, the Communist Party (KPRF) saw better results at the polls in 34 of the 39 regions. Meduza summarizes the regional election results for each of Russia's main political parties here.
