Hate to say it, 'cause I hate the usual "lol Russians just want a czar!" stuff, but it is

yup. Many people don't even understand they need a czar. the problem is that Russia mostly is a big big countryside (village) except some major cities. And people living there, opposed to most of those who live in major cities, don't like to make decisions. They want some powerful leader that will decide for them where to go and what to do. It's kind of Russian spirit or smth like that cliche.
And many others who'd like to make decisions by their own, remember those bloody years, when one wrong word led to death and are afraid to do smth against the governing person.
 
True dat, it's not like the US is using it.

We use it more then Russia uses Siberia.

Except Novosibirstk.

he would've probably demanded to incorporate parts of Poland back into Russia.

Uh.

Wait.

Belarus and the Ukraine I can kind of understand, even parts of Kazakhstan, but seriously Congressional Poland?

Yes. Gimme Kamchatka over Siberia any day.

Yes, but just bits of it.

Public secret is that Belarus would love to join Russia, but Russia doesn't want it.
 
Ivanov is such a hardliner, he would've probably demanded to incorporate parts of Poland back into Russia.

Nah, that's so Yalta in '45.

Yes, but just bits of it.

I sense a joke at 18th century partitions. If it ain't, that scenario's just impossible.

On Belarus, that's hardly a public secret. Backa even officially requested it a few years ago.

Right, on topic!

Absolutely, this paradigm still stands true in many post-commie countries, and adding some heavy pro-clericalism, is the leading ideology of Poland's rural population. Hence the disastrous frequency at 2004's elections and the subsequent victory of the duck twins' "moral revolution by glorious leaders" so-called ideals heralded by the Law & Justice party.

Which, incidentally, is collapsing. To the joy and merriment of most of the citizens, and every single one of the neighboring countries.

I digress again. Well, about Russia's elections, everybody expected this outcome. Hell, people were surprised Putin wasn't going to serve another term, but he decided to play it cool and just be prime minister.

Tres Smooth.
 
oh shi--

Putin agreed to be the Prime-Minister, if Medvedev wins the elections on the 2 of March

EDIT: \/\/\/\/ :wtf: wtf
 
As have Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr.

People easily forget it's just about the person that has the most impact or claims the spotlight in a particular year. Andropov has won it, the first was Lindbergh, Ayatollah Khomeini has won it, as has William C. Westmoreland.

Putin seems a sensible pick.

How fifties.

Nobody would benefit from such a war, so it's pretty damn unlikely to happen.
 
Okay, this is pretty fucked up. Ugh. Just a tidbit:

Election place No. 327


Party ...... Copy of the protocol given to the observers ..... Protocol sent to ТИК (Territorial election commision)
Agrarian P .......... 67 ......... 27
Civil Power ......... 46 ....... 16
Democratic p ...... 2 ........ 0
CPRF .................. 243 ........ 243
SPS .................... 28 ........ 18
PoSJ ................... 2 ......... 2
LDPR .................. 143 ...... 73

PoR .................... 14 ........ 4
United Russia .... 1017 ........ 1309
Yabloko ............. 54 ......... 24
Ruined ballot .... 28 ........ 28

The numbers represent votes for the party
 
If you want, you may take a sneak peek of our next President, Mr.Dmitry Medvedev (chosen by Putin).

The word means: "Elections".

:)
 
No, it says "Bbibopbl".

Putin is probably one of the most bad-ass looking politicians in modern times that isn't an angry Arab; Medvedev couldn't possibly match up.
