	Russia nationalist rides anti-West wave - The Boston Globe
		Motherland's populist slogans -- "We will reclaim Russia for ourselves" and "We will return the country's wealth to the people" -- appealed to millions of Russians who see everything pro-Western, proliberal, prodemocracy, and probusiness as the cause of their problems over the past decade.
		Motherland won 9.1 percent of the vote, good for fourth place in an election dominated by the pro-Putin party, United Russia, which won 37 percent.
		Motherland's 37 seats in the Duma will go to such hawkish opponents of the West as retired general Valentin Varennikov, a leader of the August 1991 coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev and his liberalizing reforms.

		Motherland landed 37 seats in Russia's 450-seat lower house of parliament, or Duma -- much to the consternation of many liberal-minded Russians, who see in Motherland an attempt to legitimize a growing nationalistic streak in the country's politics.
		Motherland's third leader, Sergei Baburin, is a self-described "patriot" whose xenophobic political stance has isolated him from the political mainstream.

		A new bloc that stands apart is the Motherland of Sergei Glazyev, recently departed from the Communist Party and sometimes criticized for a weak stand on conflicts between unions and oligarchic groups.
		But even Motherland's only short-term effect will probably be to take a few votes from the Communists and a few of the tiny other non-Communist left-wing parties (like former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's Social Democratic Party) and so strengthen United Russia.
		Russia's political parties, with some marginal exceptions, are organized from the top down, not from the grassroots.
