Is something wrong with the elections for russian parliament in a way that it isn't wrong in the US for example? Sure, Russia has guided democracy, as the US and most european countries. Propaganda, some hurdles in the laws for the elections, discrimination for some groups of people (like less election machines in regions with more blacks in the US) happens in all these countries. So I would learn to know, if Russias democracy is in any way less "proper" than the democracy we have.

The same problem faces the next election for Ukrainian parliament. Parties that were strong in the south or the east at the last elections of Ukraine are forbidden outright in Kiew now or are facing repressions, like frozen bank accounts, plundering of flats of politicians or aggression against them. That's including the winners of the last election, the Party of the Regions. That's no base for 'proper' democracy.

Did you miss the part where the russian president fled from the country? Yes, there is plenty wrong with the russian parliament. Its a scham. The elections are fixed aswell, so nope. Its still a dictatorship in practice. It just tries to look like its not, and badly at that.

Did you know Iraq had elections aswell? Saddam won every time. How convenient. I guess the people loved him. lol

The difference in russia is that the oil and gas are making the country rich for now. While that money keeps running the people wont revolt.

What is your concrete stuff you say about the elections? What do accuse them to do? All you do is throwing fog grenades, nothing concrete. I know how elections can be manipulated, you seem to have no idea.
