That's not what I said. I said very clearly that the small opposition parties help Putin by stealing votes from the major opposition parties (their audiences are usually anti-Putin). If he was afraid of losing he shouldn't have shut them down. If he's not afraid of losing then why is he intimidating voters (and is it him, or has maybe Nashi gotten out of hand a bit).
