PoliticsSep 23Russian state officials say ruling party United Russia won 58% in last weekend’s parliamentary election. Independent analysts estimate it was really 34–35% without manipulation.Judging by the reports presented to Vladimir Putin, the recent parliamentary election must have gone very well: turnout was the highest since 2011, United Russia secured the largest State Duma faction in its history, and there were almost no irregularities. But independent analyses paint a very different picture from the one presented by the Central Election Commission: reported turnout was inflated by ballot stuffing and the authorities’ heavy use of state resources; more than half the votes recorded for United Russia appear to have been fabricated; and widespread fraud benefiting the ruling Meduza [en]

PoliticsSep 23Holy regulation? Pope in Paris to press case for 'disarming' AIIt's all about his high holiness here in France. For weeks already, the nation's been abuzz over the upcoming visit of Leo.

A papal visit to France usually draws much attention to the symbiotic love-hate relationship between the church and a secular state of mostly-lapsed Catholics. And yes, there have been grumblings about the visit's cost to taxpayers. But the pushback's relatively muted. ThiFrance 24 [en]
