LEBED ELECTED TO DUMA.

Preliminary election results suggest the nationalist Congress of Russian Communities (KRO) has failed to clear the 5 percent hurdle necessary for party representation in the Duma. But the movement’s second-ranking candidate, retired Lt. General Aleksandr Lebed, has been elected to an individual seat in Tula, where he served for three years as a division commander. Will Lebed decide to leave KRO and switch his allegiance to some other party or bloc in order to make a presidential bid in June?
