Please, dont believe for a moment that what Hollywood puts out is truth. Hollywood has lost a grand majority of stars that didn't get into politics or the rest of the drivel that they do today. Hell look at Michael Moore that should tell you right there that they are not interested in truth just what happens to be politically popular at the time and sells.
Hollywood is nothing but a mere shadow of what it was when quality pictures was the order of the day and now they cant even control their dam children from being morons,drugs,drunk driving,bad parents etc.
If you are beleagered to vote for fear of reprisal then your nothing more then a body and taxes to "mother russia". I dont believe for a moment that Putins the brightest man in Russia that actually has Russia and its people in his heart. It sounds nothing more then apathy for the West and a policed state to crown himself Tzar for however long he wishes and if you are fools enough to allow him a timeless appointment then you deserve exactly what you get.
And rights? We wont even go there.
When you say that Putin has shut down the other parties I had to read that twice. NO MAN should weild that kind of power alone. It is authoritive and dictator type thinking like that -that should be sounding the alarm to all Russians. It should be against your own Constitution and is true form of what we are discussing here and now. If this is what he has to do to win then clearly he is a bad choice as far as rights go but if your economy is moving then perhaps you are willing to sell your rights for the economy. So be.
One thing I have always noticed when I am abroad (countless times the closest to Russia was Prauge) is the fact that I know in my heart there is no better place then America. And the further I travel the clearer it becomes and thats exactly why it called to our older generations and immigrants alike. The light burns the brightest right here and here is where the chance be for a better life.
