duginov: (skeptic)
[personal profile] duginov
Over 40 years ago, when I first became eligible to vote, an older friend explained how Soviet elections worked: "God showed Eve to Adam, and asked him to choose a bride." Ahead of Sunday's presidential elections in democratic Russia, voters are confronted with the same kind of "choice" — only, in this instance, Vladimir Putin gets to play both the Almighty and the First Woman.



In Russian, "vote" is the same word as "voice." I'm not giving the regime my voice, lest I stay voiceless forever.


Довольно точно совпадает с моими мыслями. Путин конечно получит и "получит" нужную явку и необходимое количество голосов. И продолжит делать то, что делает. И продолжит не делать, то, что действительно нужно. Но я хотя бы буду знать, что это все продолжается не от моего имени...
