(9,560 posts)like the President decided to not make a holiday official. Give me a break. Please research Russia's influence on this President before you continue these assumptions. You may also notice that one of the reasons for the President's rejection of the EU was their insistence that a political prisoner and his primary opponent be released from prison. The EU noted a remarkable decline in the democratic process in the country. Reporters without borders and The Transparency Project had downgraded the country steadily during the President's reign. There were many issues, please spend some time reviewing what the President did to his people.
And it wasn't a government coup. It started out as a protest. Had the President not responded by passing harsh anti-protest measures it likely wouldn't have escalated.
