LOL. A friend took her elderly mother back to Russia to visit the homeland. They're staunch Republicans, including support for trump. We don't discuss politics.
She mentioned that everyone loves Putin in Russia. I laughed to myself and resisted the temptation to mention the prisons/graveyards full of people who didn't 'love' Putin publicly
Russia's society will not change much no matter who is in charge.
What we're about to witness is a decade of state level changes to people's rights, with a court system that will allow it to happen. None of these changes have the 'support' of the majority in this nation, but the voter denial laws will assure that the minority rules.
It's up to the Russians to resolve this peacefully and fairly. If they aren't up to the challenge, then there are dark days ahead.
