Political experts say Yabloko and the Union of Right Forces could each fail to capture 5 percent of the vote -- the threshold needed to function as a party in the lower house of parliament, the State Duma.
The Union of Right Forces tends to represent younger, financially successful voters; the typical Yabloko voter comes from the former Soviet intelligentsia, and many suffered a decline in income with the advent of capitalism.
