"Victim of democratization?" Your point is that democracy is a bad thing?
My point is that under different "democratic" mottos very often hiding primitive hypocrisy. That's why need to be careful with it.
Democracy is the founding principle of all civilized societies.
Maybe, but democracy everywhere is different. South Korea was not democratic in the western sense of the word (it was ruled by military) after WWII and nevertheless built nice a economy.
Japan the same, from 1946 to 2008 year had one dominant political party in parliament.
Such developed island-county as Singapore even today rather authoritarian than democratic. Fairy tale that democracy = 100% indispensable.
How many journalists are killed each year in Russia?
That number in 3-4 times lower than in times of super mega democratic Boris Yeltsin in 90s, favorite of liberals. West as well very loved that alcoholic.
Rest in peace Anna Politkovskaya, Yuri Shchekochikhin, Anastasia Baburova and hundreds of other victims of Putin's "democracy."
Anastasia Baburova was killed by neo-nazis, not Putin; about Yuri Shchekochikhin have no idea who is it; Anna Politkovskaya
difficult to say, maybe Chechen vicegerent Kadirov or victim of typical corruption. Journalists and human rights defenders often become a targets when shoved noses into other people's sins. Anyway you have not evidence, just talking that Putin is offspring of devil like all other liberals.
And gave please these "hundreads of other victims" names, very interesting to see.
I support Yabloko and I hate both Putin and the oligarchs.
What a retard really need to be to name the political party "Apple" (Yabloko) and wait after it that people will vote for it, next time they will name party "Potato" probably
Yabloko have a reputation of useless vain talkers, like Gorbachev: talking talking talking talking.... and they were big friends of oligarchs in 90s for sure.
By the way, is not it pretty strange, you said: "Russia is an undemocratic dictatorship, oppressive tyranny, authoritarian capitalist empire" but in the same time you talking about political loser party of opposition. If we are such a evil empire with Darth Vader (second Stalin
) at power then why the hell we have these "useless political parties", such newspapers like Novaya Gazeta as you said, some mainly opposition radio stations like "Эхо Москвы" etc... wtf? what a useless pieace of **** it's not need for our evil empire
.
You know what I think? I think liberals wanna to justify their own total political bankruptcy by demonising of current regime.
I disagree with Mr.Putin & his party in many things, I even really can say that guy got too much respect among population that started to remind about old times of tsar, but such liberals like that Yabloko even worse. Do you know that leaders of our liberal "opposition" are frequent visitors to the American Embassy. I guess you know that guy on your avatar, Julian Assanje and his wikileaks. According to Wikileaks Russia's liberals constantly getting money from
American Ambassador in Moscow and reports to him on the done work, such a pitiful creatures
