well... they quote polls about Putin's approval in Russia. I think that they maybe somehow right....
each revolution becomes carricature of itself.... So tell me when Russia was actually a democratic country ? democracy in your country leads to lawless anarchy, thats my oipinion. but maybe I'm wrong here and maybe new generations of Russians (young people) raised on internet, new media, open to the world - think different. maybe. but how many of such young people does your country have ? maybe they are new burgeoiuse of your country
, that the other young people - poor, uneducated and nationalistic will gladly eat alive..just like bolsheviks did in 1917.
some countries - overall - are just not good for "democracies". They rather need strong authoritarian regime to keep them together... the other countries on the other hand - claim that they have democracies, but its people live like clueless sheep....the other countries claim to have democracies but in reality they live in oligarchias....
Look what happened after implementing democracy in Libya, Syria, Iraq..whatever...Russia is of course different story - you are civilised people, you can actually have some critical discurse even under authoritarian regime, you are kind of monolitic nation (not tribes), you have tradition of great culture opposing stupidity and lawness...but....usually in societies there is like maybe 10-20 % of the people that think for themselves and think at all... the rest are just clueless sheep that need stability..and very often - strong father figure ;-)

March 26 will be a day of protests in Russia which should take place in 100 Russian cities. This doesn't look like Putin and his gang have a great support here...
