Remind HN: Russian people did not vote for it's government

Reading the comments about the recent events I see and understand the frustration and the desire to blame "the russians" for the things that it's government is doing. Given that I'd like for you all to understand and remember that the vast majority of the russian population has never voted for this government and it's actions do not represent the will of the russian people. This is not a conjecture, it's a mathematical fact, you can explore the results of the recent elections yourself and see the scale of the perpetrated fraud: https://ift.tt/XUEZ19Q Most trusted russian election analyst Sergey Shpilkin estimates that without the "election anomalies", the current government has likely received around 31–33% of the votes with an estimated real election turnout of around 38%. Considering that turnout that comes out to around 12.8% of all eligible russian voters that actually voted for the current ruling party. Despite the complete government control over almost all russian media that has been spouting non-stop propaganda for well over a decade, only a tenth of the population has willingly given them their votes. If it was up to the russian people, this government would not be in power right now, making the decisions it is currently making.
