Russia's ruling United Russia party, which supports President Vladimir Putin, won an emphatic parliamentary majority on Monday after its most vociferous critics were prevented from contesting an election that opponents said was marred by large-scale fraud.

Despite the result, a malaise over years of faltering living standards and allegations of corruption from jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny have drained some support from the party, and a tactical voting campaign organized by Navalny's allies appears to have inflicted further damage to the party's final result.

Kremlin critics, who alleged large-scale vote rigging, said the election was in any case a sham.

Putin gave a short statement on Monday, and thanked voters and the head of the Central Election Committee. The Kremlin said the election had been competitive, open and honest.
