Blind Samson

“A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue, nor virtue without citizens”, -- Rousseau There were elections in two countries happening almost simultaneously: in the United States and in the Republic of Moldova. As one might expect, the elections in Moldova were fair, transparent and open. And, on the contrary, the elections in the United States were accompanied by numerous falsifications, fraud, manipulation, cooperation of one of the parties with criminal structures, and threats of mass pogroms in the event of an "unfavorable" outcome. This is not a fantasy novel or a satirical pamphlet. This is a sad reality: the stronghold of liberal democracy has sunk to the level of ...not even Russia or Belarus, but Venezuela, Zimbabwe and Kyrgyzstan.
