Hanna,

it is a pleasure to know that you take a keen interest in russian politics. unfortunately you have been misinformed about some key facts. for example you wrote:

"Or do you want a government that's more pro EU or pro USA than the current government. "

most russians want a gov't that is more pro russia and no russian would ever think of having a gov't that is pro eu or pro usa - in russia there is a big cult of power, i mean we like our leaders strong, it is something deeply rooted in our psyche, we are a nation of explorers and warriors and we look for partnership with countries of the same calibre. nowadays they happen to be china and india. we aren't too keen on democracy, collectively as a culture we find that such form of gov't would be built on nothing solid and we have our historical reasons to think so - remember the parliament of medieval novgorod (so-called veche) that brought our country nothing but grief.
