For that reason, Mr Gudkov would have kept his seat if the vote had been secret, says a United Russia deputy.

一位统一俄罗斯党议员称，基于这个原因，如果投票是秘密进行的话，古德科夫还有可能保住自己的位子。

The boost came at just the right time, says Lev Gudkov, director of the Levada Center, an independent surveyor of public opinion.

Lev Gudkov是公众舆论独立调查机构莱瓦达中心主任，他说认可率的上升恰逢其时。

In the Duma, members of United Russia worry that their vote to expel Mr Gudkov might lead to a broader purge of Duma representatives who have commercial interests.

统一俄罗斯党的杜马议员担心，他们驱逐古德科夫的决议会引发一场更为广泛的清除，导致其他从事商业活动的杜马议员被除名。
