Who could have known that Putin would be elected yet again, after murdering all his opponents?

Tired of my poor quality bicycle. Put the foot down and the back wheel flies off. Climb a sidewalk at full speed and metal pieces fly everywhere. Need a 300 Kg solid wolfram bicycle, so that the gravel gets pulverized instead.

It will be for some of the alternative timelines, but for the majority of timelines it will just be another day. It is just too far into the future for the timelines to converge in a meaningful way, which is why people rarely see more than a few years into the future. It just scatters in all...

At the time, he was probably just another forgettable face among the masses, and lots of time has passed since then. If you asked people if they remembered a randomly selected shy student, you get the same answers. From my highschool graduations, I only remember the performers and the bullies...
