Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party secured another two-thirds majority in Russia’s State Duma.
Russian television channels and newspapers presented the result as a foregone conclusion and described the elections as “transparent.”
Their coverage reinforced an image of normalcy inside Russia while maintaining a confrontational tone in its portrayal of Europe.
