On the threshold of forthcoming State Duma elections in Russia all civil society is boiling up: people are deadly tired of corruption, arbitrary decisions by judges, authority’s tyranny, abusing the Constitution. People want free election, they don’t want Putin will be the next president. Runet is filled with opposition videos, items, music, etc. Undoubtedly the next revolution will be in Russia. Help to spread this video and conduct democratic elections. Help to make the revolution and overthrow Putin's government!

You talk of revolution. But what kind of revolution? Russia had a really cool revolution back in October 1917! As you may know it was led by Lenin and Trotsky. Lenin and Trotsky were really cool! Under Lenin and Trotsky anti-sodomy laws were taken off the books. Women got the right to vote one year before they had it in the USA. Women also got the right to an abortion, back in 1919. Women also got free childcare, everybody got the right to a job, everybody got the right to free quality medical care, and people had the right to decent housing.
Of course all that was reversed when Russia went back to capitalism. Now the Russian worker lives a misery, but the Russian capitalist lives in luxury.
So if Russia has a revolution hopefully it will be like the one it had back in October 1917!

people naturally seek freedom. I hope you folks can figure out how to rid yourselves of Putin.

I think it was wrecked when a blood thirsty insane man named Stalin managed to take power rather then Trosky .

Russia needs to act now soon, or it will lose its chance to get rid of the oppressive Putin Regime. No more KGB Democracy....aka Dictator with show elections.
against it ? more like I knew they wont get it in Libya or Egypt as you are seeing.
I doubt they will in Russia either.

Somebody said something about Stalin ruining everything. Yeah, Stalin sucked!
But even under that rotten so-and-so Stalin the Soviet worker had the right to a job, housing, free medical care, free child care, etc. When it comes to basic necessities the Soviet worker had more rights than the American worker.
But if there's going to be a revolution you definitely don't want the Stalinists leading it. Stalinism sucks! There's no freedom of speech under Stalinism! Stalin took away a lot of the rights that Trotsky and Lenin put in place. If Lenin had lived longer maybe Stalin would've killed him too.
Trotskyism is cool! Stalinism sucks!

you've hit upon the fatal flaw of Marxism. in any power vacuum tyrants will emerge.
wasn't much of a worker's paradise under Stalin or the rest really.

In theory, everybody had health care,education a job, etc in the former Soviet Union. IN THEORY ! But the reality was very different.
The Soviet Union had the most corrupt,inefficient and unproductive economic system in world history . The vast majority of people lived in squalor, and had to struggle to get all manner of things that people in America and Europe take ofr granted, like being able to shop easily for whatever they needed. The party bigwigs had all kind sof priveleges which the common people had no access to . During WW 2 , when millions of Russians were starving and living in unimaginable misery, Stalin and his toadies feasted on gourmet food !
People had to line up for hours to wait to get shoddy products and lousy food . There was absolutely no freedom and the government was constantly prying into people's privat elives ot make sure they weren't doing anything the government didn't want them to do.
Jews were terribly oppressed, as well as Muslim minorities and indigenous Siberian tribes, and as the indigenous peoples of theCaucasus.
There was no religious freedom .
Yes, things are still awful, but the overwhelming majority of the people in Russia DO NOT want to go back to the awful old Soviet government.
There's no way to do this,anyway, any more than America can go back to British rule .

I'm not "giving up my old ways ". I've never been a Marxist or communist to begin with . Being a liberal is not the same thing as being a communist. Not at all . But if right-wing politicians in America get their way, they will impose the exact opposite of communism on
America, which is no better . Namely, total laissez-faire capitalism where there is no safety net for the poor or those down on their luck.
This is no better than communism.
And though the persecution of religious people in Russia was awful, many irght-wingers would like to impose theocracy on America, which is just a s bad as lack of religious freedom. Non-christians would be second-class citizens .

Sorry, but that's just a bunch of lies. Chiristians have absolutely no desire to live under a theocracy, or throw poor people under the bus. Quite the opposite infact. I don't know what you base those ideas on, but there is no truth to them.
