Money quotes:

The crazy part is that the people and the government want people to be able to defend themselves from criminals, but more importantly from the police. Alexander Navalny, an opposition politician and strong firearms supporter, said the following:

“We have a huge homicide rate, most of these murders are unsolved, and many police officers are among the criminal,” Navalny continued,” In America, the argument works that there are professionals to protect us. Here, the police are the main criminals, and they’re armed.”

Unfortunately, this used to be the case in the United States, but we are seeing a change in the status that the police have in the eyes of the people and in the way that the police treat the citizens that they are sworn to protect and serve.

Maria Butina of the Russian Right to Bear Arms group understands exactly how concealed carry protects citizens: “A person may decide not to commit a crime if he thinks he may be shot or may encounter resistance.”
