Armchair ?Critic,

You have crossed the line with Alexei Navalny.
Spreading Soviet propaganda.

For that reason - I'm out.

Autocrats like Putin will someday depart
Hopefully, his replacement will have a heart
And, like Gorbachev, he shall try to reform
An authoritarian political system, hard to transform

Russia's an enigma that will need to dig deep
To wake up from the slumber of its comatose sleep
It will need to shed chains embedded in fear
And admit state control is far too severe

Only then can Russia stand up and proclaim
That centuries of abuse were not suffered in vain
Centuries of dreams, of hopes, blood and tears
Have been hiding in Russian souls for years

All tied and tangled in one layer
Of burning hope wrapped in a prayer
All the while that Russia's been patiently burning
Its people for life have continued yearning.
