Writing on CNN.com’s Global Public Square, Committee for Russian Economic Freedom Founder and Chairman Pavel Ivlev writes that the recent push for political reform in Russia is tied to the compulsion for economic reform:
[M]ore than just a rigged election, Russians are protesting the inability of the current regime to lead the nation on a path of modernization. While various statistics show that wages on the whole are rising, millions of Russians are in fact experiencing worsening inequality, decreasing opportunities and a repudiation of basic free market principles.
