MOSCOW, March 11 (Reuters) - Two pro-Kremlin parties jointly won more than 50 percent of the votes on Sunday in Russia's regional elections, viewed as a dress rehearsal for crucial national polls in December, according to an exit poll. Polls for 10 out of 14 regions where elections were held showed that United Russia and Fair Russia combined won between 55 and 71 percent of the total vote, depending on the region.

Results published by the VTsIOM pollster on its web page www.wciom.ru also showed that the Communist Party won between 11 and 25 percent while the ultra-nationalist Liberal-Democratic Party scored between 10 and 14 percent. VTsIOM did not give a national average share of the vote for each party.
