I fully accept your point that the election wasn't perfect - few are unfortunately - but it wasn't as questionable as earlier ones and, as you advise, was found to be broadly fair. I agree that ideally Russia would have a better leader.
On EU, we don't have the same opinion as you say. I would not have been in favour of just telling the old Eastern Bloc countries to get on with things, especially as many wanted to join EU. But I think I would have preferred some sort of informal but sharply defined economic structure connecting EU and the ex Eastern Bloc for a longer period.
Well personally they should have waited a bit longer before adding the other 13 memebers that have jointed the EU since 2005, so I agree with you on that front...
Revolutionary change is often sudden in historical terms and haphazard. While fast action is often necessary to bring new systemic structures into place, I believe that there should then be a lengthy period of settlement and slow evolution. But then I tend to think that most social changes are accommodated more easily by all parties when they are not fast paced. Immigration would be a good example. Steadier might have been less fraught!
