Does Putin keep getting elected because the Russian people keep liking the results?

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Putin gets elected in roughly the same way that US presidents do. [Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy

Putin actually is popular. Russians have good reason to like him: he kicked the Western capitalist neoliberal shock therapy plunderers out of the country. It’s still a capitalist shithole, but at least it’s their shithole and not a neocolonized state anymore.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
