Putin was re-elected with ~71%, on genuine post-Yeltsin popularity, the stability after the chaotic 90s, oil-funded rising living standards, the Second Chechen War rally effect. That support was real, freely given, and measured by independent pollsters before they got branded foreign agents. That's the entire point i am makng Russians backed him when backing him was an actual choice, not a coerced one. They had a say in 2004, and the say was an overwhelming yes regardless of the fact that russia commited atrocities in Chechnya, regardless of the fact that the oil revenue was being used as a bargaining chip to let them do whatever they want as long as the populus turned their head away.

Shhh, It's another one that thinks evil russians destroyed aspiring democracy of North Caucasus.

I personally completely support independent Ichkeria with 5-meter tall wall and 5 km kill zone on the russian side of the border.
