In their entire thousand-year history, they've probably only experienced true democracy for maybe two or three years total, appearing and disappearing just as quickly.
The Russians themselves are just unfortunate; they don't seem to realize the kind of country they're living in, though as individuals, they are wonderful people. I actually find myself liking Russians more than Westerners sometimes.
aha, great... what a stellar observation... from everything I know and hear, Putin absolutely crushed it in the last election, so what's that? Is that fascism now?
