for me Russian politics these days is a mix of oligarchs and power services (FSB, some army etc) that are stealing what they can. For the people that believe them, they throw some bones here and there, like some social welfare, lots of TV/state media propaganda 24/7 to make people think that they do care about the country and "how Russia is strong now, not like before it was on its knees"...terrible propaganda that Goebbels would be proud of.
also, a fear of the people and attempts to control them like they can (internet laws, mainfestation laws, judges dependent on politics/ Putin etc.). typical paranoya of someone that always had a paranoya because he/ they worked in FSB/ KGB :>
strange semi- authoritarian system that tries to control many things, yet prolly its hard to control russian spirit (i mean - soul - not vodka).
like: only guy retarded and paranoic like Putin would say that Maidan was orchestrated by CIA (from the beginning). it simply cant cross his mind that Ukrainians simply got really tired of guys that were robbing them like they could (gold toilets in Yanukovich house etc.)[thats the matter of standards that nation allows basically and who it elects, as politicians are representation of the nation ;-) ]
