Putin It In Context

Vladimir Putin would have won anyway. With only between 60 and 70 per cent of the vote, rather than 76.67. But even so. His detractors should examine the second and third placed candidates in order explain which of those they would have preferred, and why.

Notice the line about "homophobia" and "LGBT rights" that is always now shoehorned into any discussion of Russia. This has shades of "the burqa" and Afghanistan. How did that work out? How did it work out, even for the wearing of the burqa?
