MOSCOW (Reuters) - An anti-Kremlin opposition candidate has won a rare seat in Moscow's legislature with the help of some army votes, election data showed, suggesting that discontent over falling living standards may have reached parts of the military.

Sergei Mitrokhin won his seat in Sunday's election partly by triumphing at two of four polling stations near the Russian army's main headquarters where military families voted en masse, Reuters data shows.
