After the “election” of Vladimir Putin for yet another presidential term last month, the list of those who lined up to congratulate the Russian dictator made for intriguing reading. Belarus’ Lukashenka said support for Putin was “overwhelming”; Azerbaijan’s Aliyev offered his warm regards on the occasion of Putin’s claimed 87,28% of the “vote” - whilst just last month Aliyev received congratulations from Putin for his 92% victory. Kim Jong Un said he would “firmly join hands” with his neighbour to the west. Iran was, of course, keen to congratulate the former KGB man. An anti-ideology links th...

Around a month before Russia held its presidential elections that were neither free nor fair, Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko held his own election-style event.

The people and local authorities know the elections are sham, and democratic countries issue their regular round of condemnations. Subscribe t...
