In Russia, certain evidences of the frauds were revealed before the official results of the 2011.12.04.Election were announced. In particular, it was revealed that the leader of Edro, Vladimir Putin does not plan to pay attention to the critics (in particular, to the qualification of his party as party of crooks and thieves ). Perhaps, the role of the edro (in the enrichment of Putin and his family) is finished, or Putin and his friends just gradually loss any connection to reality    ; Muammar Gaddafi also believed that the the people of Lybia loves him. However, many Russians want to get back the ability to elect the government ; preferably without a bloody revolution.
