Em, well I think I am not really good at writing stuff like that, but as I promised to tell you the situation with elections as I see -I'll do. Frankly speaking, I don't really care about the government, because there is no way I could affect it and I am not affected either. I mean personally I don't really feel any changes that the president does. I wonder if there are any changes. I will look for anything that possible happened here while I was gone and will tell you later, but I doubt that it was a "Moscow" level.
So, after the Soviet Union broke up(1991) there were three presidents in my country - Yeltsin, Putin and Medvedev, although Medvedev and Putin are from the same political party. Last 4 years Medvedev was the president(or Putin?) and Putin - prime-minister, now they are...changing?
The deal is that after elections people understood that they are not happy with its results.They don't want "dictators in Russia anymore", so they want another government. That's why everywhere now(even in my town) there are huge meetings on main streets and squares where people basting.
I don't now what's your press is telling you, but everybody yells here - "revolution". Well.. not yet, but it's going to be.
Now, my opinion.
Common, there won't be any revolution. What is a revolution? It's blood pretty much, some casualties, army, fire. But nowadays people are not the same as they were last centuries, when all parts of the world were in revolutions. We are more loyal now.
Well, even if I should take the word "revolution" more easier, anyways - what will it change. What do people want? What do they want if half of this crowd didn't even go to vote, because "it's too far"/ "to complicated"/"my voice won't be heard, anyway"/"i don't want to"/" i'd better spend my free time in another way" and so on. What do they want? Another president? Ok. What it will change? It's like the beginning of last century, when Russia was in Revolution - people deserved a better government and they got changes - Bolsheviks came and everything was fine at first, but then.... I may stop here, so Mr. Bremer can make a communistic joke.=)
Well, as you get it, I don't think that changing the president will help. What's more, looking at pictures of other candidates, I don't really trust them.
Plus, Russia is a huge country and it needs to be under control or, as my history teacher said - "we will ruin ourselves by drinking too much".
