You can't simultaneously call Russia an authoritarian dictatorship and say that its people have the power to change the country's trajectory.
The correct way to say this is: "the only way to force change in a country, is to push the people who can make change to make that change".
Because authoritarian dictators have never been overthrown by their people? Not entirely disagreeing with you, it's a big hurdle to overcome for change but it does happen in plenty of countries
