Last Sunday, 27th of November, Republic of South Osetia had elections for their president.
But the candidate from "United Russia" got 16% less than the candidate from opposition - Alla Djioeva!
But what do you think?
The elections now were recognized as invalid for the reason of violations, from the opposition of course. All international observers approved the elections though.

translation: Respect people's choice!
Basically the government showed us the image of what will happen when they don't win the elections in Russia... and that there is no peaceful way to change the ruling power by the elections.
