Russians OK new constitution sparks nationalist surge
In early results of Russia's first multiparty election since 1917, extreme nationalists led by Vladimir Zhirinovsky's Liberal Democrats held 22 percent with 18 districts reporting. Pro-Yeltsin Russia's Choice stood at 14 percent, Communists at 9 percent. Final tallies awaited slow counting, while 53 percent turnout accompanied broad support for a new constitution granting more presidential power. Zhirinovsky urged bans on foreign aid and defense conversion, though he claimed cooperation with Yeltsin.
