If you want to write a political post, can you write about Russia? The recent elections were so obviously rigged, and yet nobody cares. As an illustration I have a graph of "winning" party's share vs. turnout and it shows 90% correlation between the two.

The scary part for me how this is not "news". People who understand how Russian elections happen do not need this graph, people who believe in official propaganda do not see this graph as proving anything.
