It appears you’re seeing what you want to see. I never stated that Russia was a democracy. My exact wording: After 1991, the Russian Federation became a presidential republic with a semi-presidential system.In your previous post, you stated Russia was not a democracy and in this one you describe Russia as a democracy. Obviously, you haven't finished thinking your way through this issue. You seem similarly confused about whether the referendums were valid, but it doesn't matter because once the Russians withdraw from Ukraine in order for Ukraine to join the EU and NATO, Ukraine will have to deal with any internal political problems fairly and transparently.
You are skipping the point from my post that Russia didn’t claim to promote democracy as does Zelensky falsely make this claim.
Can I guess that you are a leftist? The clue you’ve given me is that you’re saying things that I haven’t said, basically making things up. Telling me I seem “confused” when I say I don’t have direct evidence about the separatist votes and how it all went down? Lol try again leftist, I’m an honest type so better luck next time
