I am struggling how this justifies the claim Russia are more democratic than us or really how what you say works in practice. It actually sounds rather sinister and reminiscent of the Stasi.
You can get your voice heard in the UK. Write to your MP, phone radio stations and so on. It's just that with 65 million people you become a voice in the wind. Russia has 143 million so I doubt Putin is hearing from the 'man in the street'.
