As for ravelling wherever we want here, that is increasingly being curtailed. Only a little bit yet and only where there's unrest but it's started.
Democracy here? As if. Our electoral system is anything but democratic.
Actually Russia today is so far removed from when it was part of the USSR as to be almost unbelievable. Even in the days of the USSR things there were very different from how it was described in the MSM.
That's just to set the record straight BTW.

I can't disagree with that .
I am not a royalist and belive in meritocracy not a lottery of birth.

Still a different man might have made a difference to the job such as it is .
He's really too old now .
