There was not a fair presidential election in Russia since (arguably) 1996

Imagine pretending that the 90s elections in Russia were 'fair' when NATO literally intervened in them on the side of Yeltsin.

EDIT: grammar. I seem to have mixed up both 'intervened in' and 'interfered with' when I initially made the comment.

I concede that elections before then were not really fair either, but definitely not as blatant as 96.
