For democratic elections, society must be mature
Most likely, there will be no popular presidential elections in Dagestan this fall. Or rather, they will be, they cannot but be, but only very small ones. Within parliament. Moscow will offer them several options “for consideration,” and Makhachkala, through unanimous “approval,” will approve one of them. And that's all. I don’t fully know if this is good or bad? Of course, I won’t argue - direct elections are undoubtedly good. This thesis is not even subject to discussion.
