The first one was published in the leading Russian weekly "Vlast" and analyzes the March 2008 Presidential elections in Russia with the so-called "Shplikin-method": http://www.kommersant.ru/doc-y.aspx?DocsID=1137095 Pay attention there are two E-pages of the publication. The second comes from one of the popular Russian moderate-opposition news sites and reports on this method when applied to the recent Moscow city Duma elections: http://www.newsru.com/russia/16oct2009/mosgorduma.html and http://www.newsru.com/russia/18apr2008/shpilkin.html The method focuses on election fraud and is based on mathematical analysis of Mikhail Myagkov, Peter C. Ordeshook and Dmitry Shakin. They published recently a book entitled: The Forensics of Election Fraud: Russia and Ukraine. (Cambridge University Press, 2009). A very interesting approach and perspective, IMHO. For the Russian-speakers (or readers :) – the following articles might be interesting (on the subject).
