during the late Soviet times, the majority of the people a visitor would meet had a common enemy: the government and its bureaucracy. this gave them solidarity.
today, it seems that many of those who even voted for VVP think he is the best they can expect. but it seems very few people are in fact for the Re-Re-Elected President.
VVP was driven in a well-planned and -timed and -televised motorcade to the Kremlin, through empty streets. compare this to Obama's inauguration. (and let us not consider the Queen of England's.)
