So only the ones that don't agree with a pro-Western government. How democratic of you.

I try to avoid blanket statements, but pro-Kremlin parties are notorious for being corrupt and autocratic. Look at Belarus, for instance. I don't think favour should be given to those people who support a pro-Western government, but favour should indeed be given to those people who support a democratic government.
