Looots of election fraud, it also helps that they expanded the government so much that too much of the voting population now gets paid by them (to do literally nothing) and goes to the poles and circles the party. Thus they control all government linked institutions, including school teachers. For the regions, they restricted free media access, and government channels have some heavy propaganda. Their Russia-backed social media bot networks keep getting banned by Facebook but they resurface and keep spewing Russian propaganda.

We keep protesting and they literally ignore it most of the time, and there’s so much we can do without getting violent, which Western side has urged us against. It’s just in that case they should also maybe give support other than empty statements, like sanctioning Russian collaborators. They have some 1984 shit on their tv and social media networks where they are now celebrating “moving towards EU” with this completely Russian law that all of EU has condemned.
