Distracted by the juicy Estonia row, and the apocalyptic "mineshaft gap" with Russia, Eternal Remont failed to note the March Presidential elections in Dagestan. Our mistake. Here's the highlight film:
--Two political opponents from United Russia and the Union of Right Forces drew guns on each other during debates -- the two candidates were cousins.
--There were kiddnappings and murders of political officials.
--There were kiddnappings and murders of political officials.
--The Kremlin opted for a Chicago-style election, ensuring United Russia and Just Russia a win. Jamestown noted, "The elections themselves were totally rigged."
--Opposition seats are now too small to influence any policy.
Managed democracy at its finest. We salute you Dagestan.
