Пердят в сторону нашей суверенной демократии, Сталина на них не хватает! 
.....Unable and unwilling to touch the foundations of the political system that created him, Mr Medvedev has been reduced to uninspiring talk of simplifying Russia’s 11 time-zones and of creating business incubators at universities.
Indeed, there is perceived to be a growing gap between Mr Medvedev’s words and reality. That reality includes the recent sudden death of a corporate lawyer in a Moscow jail.
For all his fine words, Mr Medvedev is not an independent politician. He was picked by Mr Putin (who is now prime minister) for his loyalty and obedience.
Under Mr Putin the political system is held together by the collective interest of those who divide up rents, combined with occasional repression. If the oil price stays flat or falls, that formula may keep working only if the repression is stepped up.....
А забугорные автохтоны, совсем очко расслабили. А ведь еще недавно щкерились по бомбоубежищам в приступах паники от ядерной угрозы! Жрали антидепрессанты горстями, боясь лишний раз бзднуть в сторону СССР!
ДАКОЛЕ ЭТО БЕЗОБРАЗИЕ БУДЕТ ПРОДОЛЖАТЬСЯ? КОГДА ВОСТАНОВИМ НАШ ВЕЛИКИЙ СОВЕТСКИЙ СОЮЗ?
Вот какое безобразие пишут негодяи забугорные в комментариях:
You seem to be fantasing that educated Russians want Russia to be more liberal. I doubt that very much. Nearly all the Russians I speak to have no interest whatsoever in western style liberalism, fantasising instead about getting the Crimea back, saving Russia from Jews, and increasing military spending to combat America....Political freedom, improving health (life expectancy for men is about 58...) don't figure anywhere on their agenda. One highly intellectual individual I met, for example, is obsessed with proving that Russia is the root of all languages. I felt I was talking with one of the nazi academics who tried their utmost to find evidence for Aryan superiority...Musicians, actors and writers of my acquaintance turn positively rabid when I dare question the invasion of Georgia...
"...in Russia there is no idea. She is not a _Neant_, she is and has been
simply the negation of everything worth living for. She is not an empty
void, she is a yawning chasm open between East and West; a bottomless
abyss that has swallowed up every hope of mercy, every aspiration towards
personal dignity, towards freedom, towards knowledge, every ennobling
desire of the heart, every redeeming whisper of conscience." Joseph Conrad, "Autocracy and War", 1905.
I agree with Economist. Until Putin rules Russia, Russia's democracy is fake and future is uncertain.
