United Russia backed 85% of successful war veteran candidates in local/regional elections in 2025

Of 1,035 SVO participants elected to political and administrative positions in Russia last year, 882 represented Vladimir Putin’s United Russia.

Figures refer to SVO participants elected during Russia’s September 2025 regional and local election cycle, not the 2026 State Duma election
