Russia never had fundaments for democracy, its democracy was a facade and still is, all state controlled media were brain washing society from the 90s, there is no rule of law for you in Russia if you are against someone from the party or local government.
As an independence supporting Scot, I'm not much of a fan of the UK "state media" but even I can recognize that the BBC is no Rossiya. So that's who I name. UK.
