It's so disheartening to see the Russian people throwing away their democratic rights so hard fought over in the 1990s. Its a true shame, I hope for the best for Russia, how long did the last regime last? 75 years? Well, its not that long to wait for freedom again. Nothing against Socialism, just Autocratic rule. I am a Socialist after all.

Sorry if my comments seem laughable, I based them on a credible source, a Canadian newspaper called the National Post. The Democratic Party of Russia, under Yeltsin lost a lot of credit with the Russian people with its high level of corruption. The story talked about how in recent years Putin had taken control of the Government Media and used it to spread his party's message.
Also he's been prosecuting critics of the government. By infringing on the rights of the people I'd consider that infringement on their democratic rights. And if they vote it could be seen as throwing them away.
