Dushanbe. December 7, 2011, Asia-Plus – According to the Tajik political scientist Vafo Niyatbekov the last days of protest in Russia show how democratic become the country. “Russia has got that democracy, which sought to: people can now express their protest, organize actions,” – he said.
In principle, according to Niyatbekov, the ruling party predicted the possibility of such a reaction to some parts of the country”s population at the election results. “49% of the votes received by UR is a small figure, but I am convinced that this is a real number. Beyond all doubt, the “United Russia” could delay election results. However, the party deliberately did not go on it, so as not to cause a massive entry into the election results “, – says the analyst.
B. Niyatbekov not precludes the support from the West to hold protests in Russia. “Because of the behavior of Russia in the world today, we cannot exclude the financial support of the protesters from the Western countries”, – said the analyst.
He is sure that nothing more serious will happen in Russia. “A couple of days and everything will settle down, – the expert said. – In Russia, the power is very strong. Vertical power that Putin has built is very strong and I do not think that these actions will lead to some fundamental changes in Russia.”
