I read about this incident in a Swedish paper. The header was "The Russians want their country back". It was a really touching article actually. Also, apparently several people in Russia had discovered pre-filled voting papers, filmed it and posted it online. People were so outraged that the biggest demonstration in the history of modern Russia had taken place. It was a really well written article actually. If this is true, it is an outrage.

What do you think people will do? Will there be a Russian spring, or is that too cheezy and unrealistic (it doesn't seem like Egypt and the other actually achieved much in the end....)

If Russia is going to be some sort of dictatorship I guess we simply have to cross our fingers and hope it'll remain peaceful and that it will look after its citizens. Pretty discouraging situation...
