Another confirmation that Russia is European country.

Also, US, please fix yet another thing you are worse at than Russia.

Who debated that. Historically, culturally Russia is European. Most of the population of Russia lives on the western side of the Urals.

But using it as a good example of elections, well... In the US you can choose from 2 candidates. In russia you can select from 1...

Yeah, I'd love voting on a Saturday tbh. There's still a lot of people working service schedules who wouldn't be able to, but that could also be fixed by universal vote by mail, or make it two separate days even.... really the answer is just to make it a damn mandatory holiday and call it.
