Russia boasts a massive energy infrastructure, but a recent wave of heating system breakdowns has left many of its citizens scrambling to keep the frost outside. We are still using the communal infrastructure that was made during the Soviet era," said Svetlana Razvorotneva, a Russian lawmaker and member of the committee in charge of urban engineering. "We did not invest in modernization. Instead, we invested in maintaining all that outdated infrastructure."

Most Russian people have committed no crime, and many do not support what their leader has done. We should not condem people for the country they were born in.

But over half of them support Putin.

Just like the US citizens deserve the hellscape Trump will bring. Just like UK citizens deserve poverty and empty grocery stores for their Brexit vote.

Quit pretending these country citizens shouldn't be condemned to the hell the tacitly approved of. It doesn't matter if one Russian or one Texan doesn't support their dictator, enough of their neighbors do. So suffer for your country and for the sins of your neighbors. They didn't do enough to stop it.
