Reading genuine Russian news daily is a necessary excercise for understanding Russia. Today I felt like posting my readings in this blog.
I ran the Russian news section taken from a major online news portal, Newsru.com, through Google autotranslator. Then I edited the text making it more comprehensible. It is far from grammatically perfect, but it is readable. I also included the original text in Russian.
These are the today's morning headlines as they appear on the portal.
Enjoy.
Applications from the Ingush voters who ignored the elections could be left without official proceedings in order to avoid the loss of the republic’s MP
The opposition fears that the lack of single-member districts can cause the republic to lose its single MP if the court finds the results invalid.

Sharing Medvedev: the parties, which nominated the successor, want to participate in the preparations for the elections together with the "United Russia"
Leaders of Sverdlov offices of "Fair Russia", "Civilian force" and the Agrarian Party of Russia suggested setting up a regional headquarters of the electoral coalition candidate. So far, Medvedev’s headquarters on the ground are created on the basis of United Russia, and three other parties are allowed to work only formally.
Participation in the elections is threatening Kasyanov with three years of imprisonment

After the first verification of the signatures given in support of Kasyanov the percentage of falseness exceeded 15%. Preliminary results reviewed again - 13% of falseness.
