It makes me laugh seeing Navalny adduce prooves by reading in order names and their doings, and meanwhile Fedorov go: It's all CIA's doing! you are working for America!
That sounds crap!
Probably, America WOULD like Russia to be more like itself (pay for everything, some really rich people and some really poor... etc, etc)
But to blame the USA for their own mistakes and shortcomings is just a lame excuse!

So who is a "typical" United Russia voter? Rich people, pensioners... or who?

The majority of Russians are not very rich, right? So why do they vote for a party that privatises public services and makes them poorer?
Wouldn't it be more logical for them to vote for something like Social Democrats, that would make things cheaper for them and stop the "elite" getting super-rich... and tax the rich people serviously ... (or maybe Social democrats don't exist in Russia?)
