Difference is that in the US it was not a government. Private enterprise reacted to public pressure. People made them do it.

In Russia it is the government.

Corporations have better way to gauge the opinion of the silent majority.

Not the OP, but this is actually something I doubt.

There is a long list of expensive products that outright flopped or the public received them in a rather lukewarm way. The same is true about, say, movies.

If companies can make such huge mistakes in their core business, surely they aren't any better in gauging public opinion in politics.
