摘要自20世纪90年代初以来，俄罗斯(以及其他大多数后苏联加盟共和国)的选民一直有机会投票反对所有政党和候选人。越来越多的人这样做了。两项选举后调查的证据表明，反对所有选民的选民比其他选民更年轻，更都市化，受教育程度更高。他们并不排斥自由民主，但对俄罗斯政治的当代实践持批评态度，并且发现没有任何政党能够充分反映他们的观点。随着2006年“反对所有人”机制的结束，以及普京担任总统期间俄罗斯选举制度的其他变化，投票率可能会进一步下降，抗议投票将寻求议会制度内外的其他渠道。
Abstract Since the early 1990s voters in Russia (and most of the other post-Soviet republics) have been offered the opportunity to vote ‘against all’ parties and candidates. Increasing numbers have done so. The evidence of two post-election surveys indicates that ‘against all’ voters are younger than other voters, more urban and more highly educated. They do not reject liberal democracy, but are critical of the contemporary practice of Russian politics and find no parties that adequately reflect their views. With the ending of the ‘against all’ facility in 2006 and other changes in the Russian electoral system under the Putin presidency, levels of turnout are likely to fall further and the protest vote will seek other outlets within or outside the parliamentary system.
