Russian meaning Soviet, or Russian meaning the current electoral system? Very different.
Thanks for holding my feet to the fire. I believe current, but I could be mistaken, it's been a long time since I read it, so forgive my sketchiness, but each region having elections until one person wins a final vote, to represent their constituency. I just checked Wikipedia and didn't remember the representative voting part, so maybe my bad memory. Is there a post somewhere that compares and contrasts Soviet and Russian models?
Not sure about a post comparing the two, but the Soviet model was more comprehensively democratic, and functioned like this:
Thank you; as always, you're very generous and informative. I have a friend in the mood to chat here, I will read and probably ask dumb questions later.

That's ok. I'm not sure where you are, but things seem to be getting real real, globally. A lot of us are focused on community, paying bills, family and organization, and I'm okay with it!

No problem! I live in the US Empire, hopefully the age of Imperialism is coming to a close. Contradictions are sharpening, eventually quantitative buildup will result in a qualitative and rapid change, and it's up to the working class to make that a positive one.
Glad the figure was useful!
