  1. True, so even with elections looming, with how controlled the system is in favour of the government, it might not change much, which might leave only one other option, revolution. Sometimes, governments that don't want to listen to the people, need to be forced out, the real question is, how strong is the support against the government? We might see over the next 2 years.

  2. I think this is the real problem with pro-Russian political figures in those countries, as well as Russia its self, these countries want to join the EU because it offers them political stability, economic growth and protection. Russia is having to bribe, intimidate and use threats to keep countries onside, and that's rarely in the interest of the people in those countries. The EU is winning them over because these countries are seeing what the EU is doing with the eastern EU countries that joined and want some of that, Russia doesn't want any of that, what Russia wants is satellite states that do as they are told, Russia is destined to lose on that because ultimately, what most people want is security, safety and prosperity, the EU is proving its self that it can offer that, not only with all the EU members but also the eastern ones that joined over the last 2 decades, that brings a lot of capital when it comes to people power. So Putin and his clowns can have some victories here and there, but are destined to lose unless they can deliver on what the people want, which Russia can't because it doesn't have the resources to do it and the ideology of Putin's government goes against the idea of democracy. This isn't just a thing in Europe, this is a global thing, people are more or less universal all over the world in wanting the basics when it comes to having a say, security and prosperity, and because of how interconnected the world is becoming, we are likely going to get more rises and revolutions popping up all over the world wanting much of the same that western countries have. Not to say that western countries are perfect, they are far from it, but looking at the alternatives, western countries are far better.
