"We can't take it": Putin's Inner Circle is 'One Step Away' from Betrayal - The Russian Dude [View all]
Why does Russia even have the elections, if the outcome is always pre determined? One of the reasons is the total absence of legislative branch in Russia. Everything is created, pushed, and supported for the sake of making one person happy. Such closed political regime creates the illusion of fragile stability. Because as soon as people realize that the system is rotten from the inside, there will be an unpredictable authoritarian downfall.
