Coach FactoryThe term polit-tekhnolog (political technologist) is, after all, a Russian neologism.Chanel Bags There are well-paid teams of them in Moscow who do nothing but hatch ways to confuse voters, skew results and, when necessary, stuff the ballot box. Reports of their handiwork have been rife ahead of Russia's parliamentary elections Coach Outleton Sunday, calling to mind the country's unofficial electoral mantra, which is usually Coach Outletattributed to Stalin: "It's not important how they vote. It's important who is counting." Louis VuittonSo with all this experience to draw from, with all these technologists available to help,Chanel Bags how did Moscow manage to screw up the ballot last weekend in the tiny Russian Coach Outletvassal state of South Ossetia?It should have been a cakewalk. Chanel HandbagsInsofar as South Ossetia even has an economy, it relies on trade with the Russian Coach Factory Storemilitary, which conquered the region from the Republic of Georgia after a weeklong war in 2008.

Since then, only four other countries Coach Outlethave followed suit: Venezuela, Nicaragua and the two Pacific island nations of Tuvalu and Coach Factory OutletNauru, all in exchange for loans or other goodies from Moscow.Besides, Coach Outlet Onlinethe region has only 28,000 registered voters, most of whom hold Russian Coach Outletpassports and worship Russia for liberating them from Georgian rule. The region's Coach Factory OutletPresident, Eduard Kokoity, openly stated in 2008 that South Ossetia Coach Outletshould eventually become a part of Russian territory. So it seemed obvious that when Coach Factory StoreKokoity's term in office ran out this year, Russia's favored candidate Louis Vuitton Bagswould easily succeed him. It wouldn't require a lot of finesse on Russia's part, just a bit of old-fashioned campaigning. But even before the elections began, things started going wrong.
