You see the problem with people like you is that you're basically delusional. You perceive any country outside of Russia, bar various dictatorships such as China, Syria and former Libya, as being part of "the West", as if that has any meaning any more. And apparently, the "the West" is part of a global conspiracy to continue the Cold War perpetuated by a bogeyman called the CIA. You're told that this is so and that you should rally behind the government and fear the bogeyman, to be afraid and Nationalistic. This kind of reality stops you from accepting any valid criticism, even when there are some of the biggest protests Russia has ever known right on your doorstep. When the BBC reports something, and you have no actual reason based on evidence to doubt the BBC, you just label them as "the West" and stop thinking. The Cold War is over, Russians, everyone else moved on and the people on the streets want to Russia to catch up.

The difference between Russian elections and US elections is that US elections don't have reports of widespread vote rigging (kind of obvious when more people vote than there are people, guys) from voters and independent observers.
