Face up to it Barbos, Russia is a dictatorship. There is no debate. Stalin to Putin with a short space where democracy would have been possible.
Whatever problems exist in the western systems free speech, free press, civil rights, and rue of law are holding.
It is a binary black and white choice the same choice as during the Cold War. You support dictatorship and authoritarian systems like Russia, Iran, China, ad North Korea, or you support western ideal of individual rights protested by the government.
You like authoritarian Russia with no civil rights. We who argue with you like our civil rights, and most importantly the right to dissent publicly with all governments form city to state to federal.
People were not happy with democrats and Trump got elected in a fair election, the people spoke.
The next election based on how things go may change, in the long run people do have a say in government.
No mater how disastrous Ukraine is for Russia and no mater how many Russians die, Putin will control any section and stay in power.
However inefficient and chaotic our system can be, it is still preferable to a Putin's dictatorship.
Western Europe and North America have a problem with too many people wanting to get in . Few want to go to Russia. That says it all.
