You wholly missed the point of my comment. I couldn't care less about Le Pen. And of course dissidents will never be able to win engineered elections, nothing new here.
What I do rejoice about, however, is the fact that populations in the west are fed up to the back teeth about their lying, cheating, corrupt, sclerotic, decadent, criminal and increasingly repressive regimes which masquerade as democracies and pretend to be serving the people when the exact opposite is the case.
When you saturate the airwaves and the web with this much propaganda and mental conditioning but still get rejected by the people at elections, you know it's game over. Brace yourself for the downfall. It's inevitable, it will come, although the exact date can't be determined yet.

What is the significance of the sinking of the Moskva’s?
The 12,500 tonne Moskva was armed with multiple anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles, and was the only ship of its class in the Black Sea. The two other missile cruisers – the Marshal Ustinov and the Varyag – are deployed with Russia’s Northern and Pacific fleets respectively.
The Institute for the Study of War (IOW) says it was not able to verify that Ukraine had sunk the warship, but the Moskva’s loss – regardless of the cause – was a “major propaganda victory for Ukraine”. In contrast, it was likely to undermine Russian morale, the institute said.
In military terms, however, the loss might not be so significant.
IOW says the Moskva was probably mainly used to conduct Kalibr cruise missile attacks on sites including logistic centres and airfields in Ukraine.
“These strikes have been effective but limited in number compared to airstrikes and ground-launched missiles throughout the invasion and the loss of the Moskva is unlikely to be a decisive blow,” IOW said.
Russian military experts have also played down the sinking’s military significance.
“The ship is really very old. Actually, there have been plans to scrap it for five years now,” Russian military analyst Alexander Khramchikhin told the Reuters news agency.
“It has more status value than real combat value, and in general, had nothing to do with the current operation. It will have no effect on the course of hostilities.”

They are Sufis who have issues with the Salafist-led uprising. Within the Sunni population no matter where you go, you'll find a conflict between Sufi and Salafists.
Not sure why they are not fully deploying it but Russians need to fully use their anti-GPS and satellite jamming capabilities. The Moskova ship that recently sunk were lost because its GPS coordinates was given to Ukrainian forces that launched the anti-ship missile.

He joins Shoigu in gulag.
Putin hates bad news.
By the way, where is Gerasimov, the chief of general staff?

He has until the 9th of May.
Funny to see Putin sending all his 'yes men' to detention. Before war, it would all be about loyalty for dictators. But now loyalty is not good enough, competent people are needed. Putin is unable to find enough of them
