Hunh. Doesn't sound all that different from what we've got here in the US, if I'm being honest.
It’s capitalist Russia. They do exaggerated versions of what we do. We exist as a mostly empty country deeply reliant on our fossil fuel resources, they exist as a nearly empty undiversified petrostate. We have gerrymandering and voter suppression, they have political candidates disappeared. We promise education and healthcare in exchange for service and cheap out to the point of near uselessness, they promise cash and send a bill instead. We have income inequality, they have oligarchs. We have bigotry problems, they ban certain groups from participating in public life.
