The election was criticised quite harshly. But that is not Russia's problem, anyway... [Or do you think elections in Europe is Russia's problem to "correct"?]

The election was criticised quite harshly. But that is not Russia's problem, anyway... [Or do you think elections in Europe is Russia's problem to "correct"?] Consider the scary thing here: To AGAIN start invading and taking pieces (Transnistria, Georgia, etc) of countries in Europe is not just small meaningless realpolitik, as you imply. Especially since the motivation is "Protecting Germ... Russian speaking populations"... :-( What will happen now is that the West will continue to say "Peace in our time" while starting to also rearm. Are you seeing the obvious parallels here? You need to wait for Putin to get a moustache first? :-(
