You know Chechens are the most fervent Russian nationalists today? They experienced the joys of living under an extremist Islamic caliphate for a few years between the first and the second Chechen war. Today they'll vote for any strongman that will ensure stability and security in the region. And that my friend is currently Putin.
> But. Putin stole elections to Duma. Those were totally baked
Yes sure. When Western opinion research reaches the conclusion that 85-90% of Russians support Putins policies it obviously makes a lot of sense to "steal" elections.
> This is widely documented.
Where? In the CIA fact sheet?
> Do you think this will be forgotten? Do you think this will never shoot back?
Please spare us all of this childish rhetoric.
- powera 11y agoI think he's claiming that the official election results are blatantly not true, since they claim "99% of voters voted", but over 10% of the population claims to be voters that did not vote in the election.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoIt's irrelevant how fervent you are when you are presumed voting when you actually don't. I don't know how much sense does it make to steal elections; nontheless it has been done.
