I really don’t like it when people argue that Russia is simply not a democratic culture. That Russians are not “ready” for democracy. The argument is paternalistic and seems to assume that Russians are somehow not able to grasp democracy, which is insulting. But sometimes you wonder … What is happening here? An article in the St Petersburg Times, “City Parliament Slammed For Pro-Putin Statement“, discusses how an official statement by the St Petersburg Duma (local parliament) states that regardless of party preference, all Russians should support the “national leader”. Reading about Russian politics is depressing these days.
