* UNION OF RIGHT-WING FORCES:

Former PM Sergei Kirienko will top the ballot with his former deputy, Boris Nemtsov, and Irina Khakamada, a small-business advocate.

Shock therapist Yegor Gaidar still has some support in St. Petersburg, and Konstantin Titov, governor of Samara, has a record of political and administrative success in Russia’s heartland.
