Разделенное Россия

Г-н Путин,

Когда правительство позволяет урнам для избирательных бюллетеней быть заполненным, нет народовластия. Народовластие Потёмкин.

Когда вы требуете что протесты были оркестрованы другими странами, вы оскорбляете сведению ваших товарищеских русских. Они нет тупоумных людей. Им не нужно американцы сказать им чего они видят. Им не нужно американцы сказать им как чувствовать о этом.

Чему вы думаете русские будете верить, ваши губы или их собственные глаза?

Divided Russia

Mr. Putin,

When a government allows ballot boxes to be stuffed, it is not a democracy. It is a Potemkin democracy.

When you claim that protests have been orchestrated by other countries, you insult the intelligence of your fellow Russians. They are not stupid people. They do not need Americans to tell them what they see. They do not need Americans to tell them how to feel about this.

What do you think Russians will believe, your lips or their own eyes?
