What was Stalin’s quote?

“It’s not who votes that counts; it who counts the votes.”

Of course he got re-elected.

Western people look for Russians too naïve about democracy. We feel hundreds years older than you experienced in last 100 years themselves or our relatives, ancestors and acquainted all possible forms of rule known to humankind at different levels of society. Democracy is sort of spherical horse in a vacuum, an abstraction possible only in theory. In 1930-th everybody had possibility to report to highest authority about somebody’s misconduct and this person you have dislike to would disappear in GULG with quite high probability. Almost everybody’s wish of such nature was implemented by authorities. I wonder if there existed greater democracy anywhere in history of humankind. In the West these years were named “totalitarian”
I wonder how much people in US would be left alive if all wishes of all citizens would actualize.
Elective technologies were introduced in Russia during Yeltsyn rule by his American advisers. Such foreign sounding subjects were very quickly recognized as well known swindler’s trick named lokhotron, entertainment for morons when they will end barea$$ed. So all those so named elections fall under this definition , lokhotron.
Anyway, Putin is not worse thing that can occur
