    Why March? Because that’s when Russia will “vote” for “president” in a national “election.”

    Writer getting some humour into the gloom.

        Still doesn’t mean “massed” is correct, and it’s weird to use here. Never understood why one would go out of one’s way to present an incorrect argument.

        Edit: feel free to downvote me. It doesn’t make me any less right, or the parent comment any less incorrect. Weird, but hey, there are worse things to be wrong about.
