| Members of the Yabloko and Communists factions voted solidly
against the government, Russian media reported. Russian Regions leader
Oleg Morozov told gazeta.ru that the measure would fail not because a Duma
majority loves the government, but because there is simply no sense in
dismissing the government just before new Duma and presidential elections.
According to "Vremya novostei" on 19 June, more deputies voted
against the government than had been expected, and that might have been
because no one from the government bothered to show up for the vote.
