Well any return to the situation in the 90s would be tragic, not to mention any kind of dramatic revolution on political upheaval.
Until I joined this forum I was not up to date on the situation in Russia at all, and I actually thought it was still a bit like it was in the 1990s.
That was so degrading for Russia and its citizens, so I guess that those voters are right, at least in that respect. I mean, talented people working their backs off in various demeaning jobs, and honest people ending up as criminals etc. That must never be allowed to happen again.

It's crazy to spend 70 years trying to build communism, and then just let the whole thing fall to pieces and be stolen by greedy thieves. It's particularly tragic in relation to the old people, I think. Would have been better to reform slowly, if people were genuinely fed up and were sure that they wanted a market economy.

Another thing is that it is not easy to create democracy where it has never existed.
In Western Europe it happened more slowly, and things like corruption has been quite common in many countries until fairly recently.

Not sure how much Western Europe and the US really are though (it varies) but at least there is less obvious corruption.
(Although there are some vary dubious alliances between some governments and private companies, and medias influence on how people vote makes it hard to know how much they are really voting based on values and what is in their best influence.

But the problems are less in-your-face than in Russia.
