    I remember some simpleton arguing with me about democracy in Russia vs France. I bet Tutanota is not blocked in France. Blah. But the yellow vests! Some people just don’t see the big picture. Sometimes an absence of protests is not a good sign.

    Russia has not had a truly democratic culture in ages. Can they embrace democracy in a more real way moving forward? Yes. Is Russia today more democratic than France? Not a chance.

    Remember people: democracy means shared power. That’s what it really means.
