One of the men is a member of United Russia, President Vladimir Putin's political party, according to the newspaper Novaya Gazeta.
As the parliamentary Russian election is just days away, Yabloko Party candidate Boris Vishnevsky, who is running for the lower house of parliament and regional legislature, discovered that two men vying against him for each seat are running under the same name, the Associated Press reported.
Putin, however, on Thursday urged Russians to vote, saying in a video message that"election of [the Duma's] new composition is undoubtedly the most important event in the life of our society and country." The Kremlin wants control over the new parliament, which will still be in place in 2024, when Putin's current term expires and he must decide on running for reelection or choosing some other strategy to stay in power.
