Episode Details

The recent Russian parliamentary election serves as a manufactured mandate for an intensified, long-term war in Ukraine. Billed explicitly by President Vladimir Putin as a "referendum" on the invasion, the tightly controlled vote concluded on September 20, 2026, with the ruling United Russia party securing a record supermajority of roughly 58% of the vote, giving it control over nearly 80% (355 out of 450) of the seats in the State Duma.
