Russia
A meaningful change in Russia is not coming after/through these coming elections, but there is discontent and there is some dynamic going on.
"Society should not perceive the situation as having only the authorities and the liberals, who support the same economic system but are unhappy with corruption. Our task is to show that there is a big role in the democratic process for left ideas and social demands.
On the whole, the society tends toward left social democracy. For me personally, that may be too moderate. But in any case, people want social transformations and a mixed economy."
The situation on the ground is not allowing more than being "too moderate".
It is also good to be "too moderate"; otherwise, the bulk of Western media and "leaders" would call you either an extremist or populist!
"Russia Needs Its Own Bernie Sanders."
