Russia is supposedly having a presidential election this year. However that is a farce and we all know it.
Dmitry Megdiev, who is Vladimir Putins Protege is poised to win the most irrelevent election in the history of modern democracy. From every point of view this is a failure. Think of it, in Russia there is no freedom of the press, no free speech and none of the civil society that we have in places like America, Canada and Western Europe. The Kremlin has a choke hold on power and over the past five years Vladimir Putin has done more to scale back the institutions in Russia and centralize power in his hands and the hands of his supporters. How long will the western democracies let this tragedy to continue.
