A national leader can control a political party without being a member - plenty of examples of British aristocrats from the 17th Century onwards doing it. As well, any opinion poll’s results can be manipulated by the questions it asks and the order in which it asks them so they’re at best an indicator of probabilities, nothing more.

Re: Russian Underwear Protest!
The more I read your explanations of political life in Russia, Moses, the more I'm struck by the parallels with a certain SE Asian country. Patronage networks, shadowy figures controlling political parties, endemic corruption, vast concentrations of wealth, political assasinations of opposition politicians.

Why you limiting your imagination by Asia? Look at US. Few families what shadow controlling whole country. Just look at Kennedy. Should we talk about Rothschilds when we are talking about concentration of wealth?
Here one more theme for you to discuss. Somebody at West had read too much historical books. Lenin. He was in Germany, then was returned by German secret service to Russia and supplied by money. Everyone knows what was late in 1917. Now Germany again returning one more idiot to Russia and pays grants to him.

Re: Russian Underwear Protest!
You must be pleased to find this opinion expressed in the western press. Although, for balance, I would point out both that it is only a letter written to the FT, rather than a news or editorial comment, and that it it describes Navalny as a good and brave man, which doesn't quite tie in with your previous comments.

What? I never told what Navalny is coward, why you wrote "brave"? Navalny is nationalist and populist, nobody from nowhere and controlled by grants toy of West. I'm ready to repeat that. Western propaganda describing him as a leader of opposition, but he is not leader - he is most loud populist, who earns his grants by manufacturing scandal after scandal for Western medias.

But how long would he be allowed to spend time in Russia if he didn’t suck up to Putin?
We have expats here who suck up to the current prime minister but that doesn’t make them experts on Thailand.

He reminds me of Juan Guaido of Venezuela.
