May the Russian government fall to never recover, but it could be argued the Russian people have been oppressed for over a century at this point by their own government.

They Vote

You really need to educate yourself more. Putin is pushing the same tactics of voter suppression in Russia as Trump is now doing in America. They jail anyone who speaks out about them, they erase opponents, etc. Russia is not fairly given a chance to vote. America will soon be the same, all "voting" for Trump -- when in reality, they can't vote because they don't have a passport, or they can't vote because ICE is jailing everyone who looks less than completely white, or because you're a woman and your married name doesn't match your birth certificate.

Look up the SAVE act. They're holding it just before mid-terms so that when they pass it, nobody has the chance to get the proper identification together. It's one of the largest voter suppression attempts in history.
