I can't really say I believe in full legitimacy of Russian elections, but western elections have made me hate 'democracy', unlike Russians, they'll openly suppress and manipulate votes and tell you it's for ''our demoncracy to fight the evil right wing in Europe''.
You forgot to add that when an election DOESN'T go the way they want the government just cancels it, arrests the rightful winner, bars them from ever running for office again, and then redoes the election.
