THE CALL

Will Yabloko gain the most seats in the next Russian parliamentary election?

Dead level on this question — by lower Brier against the same outcome.

The market-implied probability on the day we sealed our call, pinned once and never re-snapshotted. We forecast independently — the market is the benchmark, not an input.

Resolved by independent prediction-market settlement: the matched Polymarket market "Will Yabloko gain the most seats in the next Russian parliamentary election?" settled NO. CrisisBrief's sealed forecast is graded against that same outcome. The link to that market is ledger entry 9487, sealed late: the link was made before links were sealed.
