Answer 1

The quote "it is enough that the people know there was an election; the people who cast the votes decide nothing; the people who count the votes decide everything" reflects a cynical and authoritarian perspective on the electoral process. It suggests a belief that the actual decision-making power lies not with the voters, but with those who control the counting of votes, which undermines the legitimacy of the electoral system.

This point of view is most closely aligned with Stalin's view of free elections in Eastern Europe during the Cold War (option 4). Stalin's regime and its influence over Eastern Europe often involved manipulating electoral processes and undermining true democratic practices. The quote encapsulates the idea that the appearance of elections can be maintained for public consumption, while the real power dynamics are controlled elsewhere.
