How exactly is any Russian "election" next year going to be "transformative"?
Either they are going to cook the books yuuugely more than last time (I'm not buying that), or polls will magically "correct" themselves during next year (I can buy that), or United Russia will see a loss in vote share well into the double digits and post their worst result since 2003 - if not ever.
But even if the third thing happens nothing will change, you will say. Well I don't think anything will change in Germany or Israel (two of the three most voted options so far) either.
I actually voted Russia, in any case, because sometimes I still need to be a contrarian.
