Vucic admitted defeat in the Serbian elections. Writer Viktor Shandrowicz comments "Absolute power is a trap. Climbing it with depraved carelessness is a piece of cake, but getting off later turns out to be deadly. Putin crossed the line of no return at the beginning of 2011-2012, and everything that happened then in Russia was, by and large, only the result of the rally on December 12, 2011 in Manzhenia Square: the announced decision to run for an illegitimate third term and the police crushing of the Bolotnia Urban protesters in Hungary and Vucic in Serbia gave us hope that the historical blockade could be broken with piston forces Democratic - so to speak, in good condition, without bloodshed - but there are many more interesting things ahead of us, I'm afraid."
