Perhaps nothing in Russia can whip up public hysteria like the notion of a Masonic conspiracy to take over the country. The word "democrat" has also become a widely pejorative term, and long hair on men is certainly a no-no for much of the Russian public.
Now meet Andrei Bogdanov, the presidential candidate with long, curly hair who heads up the country's largest Masonic lodge as well as the Democratic Party of Russia.
At 38, Bogdanov is Russia's youngest-ever presidential candidate, and he is running a long-shot campaign in the March 2 election that First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, President Vladimir Putin's preferred candidate, is all but guaranteed to win.

Now a Masonic conspiracy may be a long shot, but a democrat not favored by Putin winning the election is just as long a shot. Although Medvedev is pretty much guaranteed to win, there are more than one candidates running. Bogdanov if elected would be a large change for Russia, from the long hair to the fact that he would be the youngest president ever. This article points out some things that might help us realize why the Russian people listen to Putin so obediently.
For example who likes change? Most of society is opposed to change and unless society is ready to overthrow the government they don't like change either. When Putin selects someone to proceed him the citizens feel that this would be the least amount of change for them, making Medvedev the ideal candidate and Bogdanov a change society might not be willing to take.
