@shuro @kravietz >Maybe it had something to with with what people in Ukraine did in 2004 and 2013 and something people in Russia largely ignored in 2012?
nope.
you're locked in your personal experience and imagine like there's democracy everywhere. but this is not so. there're many places where people do not choose anything in politics. and there was never any democracy in Russia, from the very beginning and till nowadays.

p.s. and you listen to propaganda too much. your imagination of Russian people is too silly. you repeat Kremlin propaganda word by word and this sounds a way weird.
