I gave up on Russia ever becoming democratic when Putin “won” his third term. Limits were set on how many times one can be President, by the constitution of Russia, but somehow it was rewritten and he sailed by with like 70% of the vote. I don’t know how legit is the vote. My best friend’s mom who I was close to lived in Russia (he lives in NYC in Brooklyn), she hated Putin’s guts and always voted against him. She could not understand why he could not let the people of former Soviet Union and tsar Russia choose their fate. The same with Ukrainians. My other US Russian friend won a green card lottery and moved to Miami, describing how the mob demanded ransom for protection from another mobster . The mob was increasingly Putin stooges. To be honest, I think God saved Trump’s life from assassins because of Nuclear War with Russia was imminent that would wipe out the world. It is considerably less likely with the right wingers and especially Trump in charge. The likelihood did not drop to zero though, but it’s up to G-d.
