Russian Duma says US vote proves America no example
November 15, 2000

MOSCOW (Reuters) -


"Russia, ruled by dictators for all but a decade of its 1,000-year history,
has often been criticized abroad for staging less-than-perfect elections.
Last month election officials struck an incumbent regional governor and a
leading contender off the ballot just hours before the vote."

For most of its 1,000 - year history Russia was actually ruled by dukes,
tsars, emperors, that is monarchs, as almost every country in the world for
about the same (or longer) time. Monarchs are somehow not the same thing as
dictators.
