So their choice is either United Russia, whose entire platform is "make Putin the quasi-tzar and shut up", or Liberal Democratic Party of Russia which seems to be "The NDSAP with Russian Characteristics?" Yikes

Scratch Monkey posted:So what you're saying is that the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is the Washington Generals to Putin's Globetrotters? I mean it's not fair for me to call all Russian opposition clowns, honestly. There are some who are undoubtedly legit and competent - but they are regionally popular at best and thus harmless. If they start getting too big for their britches they tend to quickly end up in prison, disqualified from elections, or accidentally fall out of windows. But yeah, so long as Putin wants to pretend they're a democracy (which may not be the case for much longer, tbh) he's gonna keep some visible but controlled and ineffectual opposition around to win fixed elections against. gh0stpinballa posted:or the democrats to the republicans, tbf No, not like that at all. US Democrats and Republicans have many overall similar interests resulting in lots of convergent policies (usually boiling down to self-enrichment), but as parties go they are both actual real parties who get their politicians elected at the expense of the other party all the way up to and including frequent trading of POTUS and house/senate majorities. It's still a two party system even if both parties are pandering to monied interests. You don't see anything like that dynamic in Russia (aside from the pandering to monied interests, of course) - the big party preserves direct and unchallenged control.

As are CPRF and whatever parties are allowed to exist - controlled opposition to defuse various parts of political spectrum. The generally agree with the course of the ruling party (just look at the voting of any improtant law in Duma) but may speak out on secondary issues and on regional level - until it gets uncomfortable for the oversight. Still, it as a chance for ambitious people to join those parties to carve out an independent opposition career - like Evgenii Roizman in Ekaterinburg who used the access of A Just Russia and Prokhorov's Civic Platform (while it existed). LDPR denied any participation in the Khabarovsk protests despite the initial bravado of Zhirinovsky - and Khabarovsk doesnt seem to care; people dont care about the party, which missed coherent ideology for the last 20 years.

Putin and the FSB Bombed the apartments in Moscow to get Putin re-elected. An FSB agent lead terrorists into the opera house then went on to brag about his part in the operation trying to get into other chechnyan crime gangs.

Putin's in power indefinitely and the apartment bombings were the seeds that sowed the rise of United Russia. What is relevant is the Russian assassinations on British soil. Which are continuing to happen and be allowed to happen due to British investments in Russia.

If only these events were the only ones. Also all the propaganda that Putin the great™ did it all himself, ended terrorism beat USA EU any other country and so on so on so on. Good thing happened = thanks mr. pu, bad thing happened = 'obama bad, gently caress usa, americans did it!' Information wars and propaganda suck
