Catfish I have demonstrated the ways the EU is less democratic than Russia, for example Russian parliament can propose legislation and the Russian executive is directly elected by the people (though ofc you are going to claim that our elections are illegitimate and we cannot elected our own leaders).
That said making the leap that I support the specific configuration of the status quo that we have is building a strawman.
As to our laws - EU is moving towards more of the same, with the politically driven censorship, political imprisonment and so on and so forth.
