is russia a dictatorship??
 

why is putin still in control? after all these years. where's that russian muther fuker? chime in dogg

A benevolent dictatorship, without Putin Russia would go to hell

It is pretty much an authoritarianism, if you ask me.
Putin has his own block of allies in power, mostly military and security forces, so he could keep the position even in the case of impeachment attempt and this block made politics in Russia a monopoly - there are only weak and stupid political parties left in the game, as anyone who could really do something are either dead or bribed.

But in non-political spheres of life there is enough freedom to live a normal life.
And yes, Putin is the only reason, why Russia is still in the news. He is a pretty strong, charismatic leader, who makes only few visible mistakes in his actions. Without him Russia would be just like Ukraine - poor country with absolutely no power, but with a huuuuge ambitions

...just like America, democracy covered in fascist clothes...

america is one political party away from being north korea :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I would say that America is now becoming fascist covered in pseudo democratic clothes :disgust

Russia is a classic oligarchy, which has nothing to do with a dictatorship. You should learn a bit about these definitions if you are going to use them on public :2 cents:

Because it separated one country, even one city in half. It was not a wall between 2 countries.

That was one country split in two not separate countries.

who knows if the next president says tear it down.
