How does Russian voting work? Do you cast a private vote in a booth, or can everyone see whom you vote for? Could you theoretically vote against Putin and no one ever find out, or will you get a knock on your door late that night?
Same as in other sham democracies like the US or UK.

The former.

Of course.

Millions of people will vote against Putin next month (my guess is as much as 20% of the total vote). Where are all these tens of millions of secret police knocking on doors going to come from?
Russia's elections are reasonably fair. Putin actually is that popular here.
