Yeah, that's to be expected. Though I'm sure there is differing opinions all over Russia as a lot of Russian's are anti Putin themselves and were engaged (and probably still want to be engaged) in democratic anti government rallies in the past.
Rankles me that some people don't see protest as an effective and necessary tool in keeping government in line, and even recycling it when necessary.
To me there is nothing MORE democratic.
