Russia has never been democratic country and never even pretended to be the one. However our cops don't shoot people for fun and the citizens here have a personal vote on elections as opposed to the USA (e.g. Al Gore vs Bush election fuckup). You know, I don't support Putin. But I know that over 80% of Russians support him. This is the only reason why he is in power. If his approval rating will drop down, he will be kicked out his chair in no time. "Democratic" my ass.
