In general, the West should be horrified not by the 76 percent who backed Putin but by the fact that in the Russian elections: patriotic, communist and nationalist ideas were supported by 95 percent of the population, leaving the liberal ideas with a pathetic five percent.
And you, my Western friends, are guilty of this. By your hostility and sanctions, you have pushed the Russian people into the arms of the Moscow regime. Had you behaved sensibly and reached compromises, this outcome would not have occurred; but now that it has, the West must assume all responsibility.
As a result, we no longer want to live as you do. for 50 years both secretly and in public we wanted to do so, but we don’t want to any more. We no longer respect you and all those you support among us – the paltry five percent. And you yourselves are guilty of this.
Our people can forgive a lot, but we can’t forgive arrogance, the same as any other normal people. The West lost its empires because of arrogance: “White man’s burden" my ass.
And now you have done something worse: you have united us around your enemy - precisely by declaring that he was your enemy.
Earlier, Putin was simply our president and could have been changed. But now he is our leader [vozhd] and we will not allow him to be replaced. And you did all this with your own hands.
Patriotism and liberalism should not be mutually exclusive. But that is what you have insisted upon. Give this false dilemma: we have chosen patriotism.
And we Russians have done so even though many of us are really liberals. I, for one. And this is not something that is going to quickly fade. It is now in place for a long time to come.

I feel so guilty. I probably won’t be able to get to sleep for several more hours.
Oh, wait - it’s 5:30 pm.
Article says Obama and Hillary didn’t screw Putin, they played right into his hands.
Didn’t you read the article?
Uh oh, proof of Russian collusion. Don’t you see, they wouldn’t be saying this if it were not to help President Trump in his quest to fire Mueller. /yes sarcasm

You need to learn to sense irony when dealing with East European.
The article actually says that Obama’s Russian policy resulted in association of all things liberal with treason for the Russians.
Ping.
Before you critique Western journalism, this letter by RussiaToday’s lead editor is exactly what is wrong with the mentality of so many Russian people including so-called young and liberal ones.
The attitude is always always “blame America.” Nobody takes personal responsibility whatsoever for the country’s problems or the country’s dark past. Even Putin is America’s fault. The Revolution 1917? Also America’s fault. (Or they blame Jews.)
Terrible!
Ping. Sure...Russians “like” their leader...but they blame America for doing so.
