Russians With Attitude
You know how pretty much everyone is convinced that the Russian electoral and parliamentary system is fake, right. Well, duh. But there are two important points.
First, if it's fake, and Putin is running a "turbo-giga-hyper-dictatorship", why bother spending billions on fake elections and political parties? Before 2022, and especially before 2014, the liberal answer would have been: "umm they're just trying to deceive the West". But now, as the most sanctioned country on Earth, what would such "fakery" realistically achieve? You can answer that for yourself.
Second, you know how the American two-party system is structured, right. Two parties, "Demonrats" and "Republitards," fighting like HELL, foaming at the mouth over how to maintain the status quo, defend Israel and bomb Russia. Well, Russian parties seem to be almost the complete inversion of that.
On the surface, the Russian Communist Party (CPRF) is pretty meek and agreeable with the Kremlin. But look at its program and statements, and you'll find that many of its members are, in fact, unironic Marxist-Leninists. They actually believe in and propose nationalizing "oligarchic assets" i.e. large private companies, among other things, positions that are completely at odds with the United Russia party line.
So, compared to the US, Russia is a very real democracy, and that's not necessarily a good thing.

Why do you think Jabloko was finished?Russians With Attitude
It was finished like 15 years ago. Then it was revived, allowed to participate and banned. Idk, some kind of a sick ritualNeznámý Vojín
Ok, but why banned then? If it had negligible support?589264158745632 746546951383846
Western states prefer to create enemies outside their borders because they supposedly unite people and help them forget the incompetence of their own governments...Russians With Attitude
Theory 1: Presidential administration allowed it to run, Siloviki banned it. Theory 2: It wasn't as negligible as some thoughtTudor Mărginean
Theory 2 might be true, don't underestimate Yeltsin-era nostalgics. But seriously though, why keep the multi-party system? Btw, If I were Russian I'd vote for a hybrid arhaic-orthodox-communist-techno partyTudor Mărginean
I was basically converted by Gagarin, Sovietwave and some cool red army edits, and the AI lords also kind of suckJohn Seastar3
Well, that answers not bringing any understanding or insight. 😂️️️️️️Andrew M
Sovietwave is sick indeedPhilipp
I believe that Russia itself is fake by now. Whenever I try to visit it, virus pandemics and wars break out. This is all just a Truman Show set up for me 😵💫kk tsk
меня лично всегда забавляет, что сейчас есть действующие партии эсеров и новиопов. сомнительные названияReincarnated Aryan Stellar Raper Droydius

You mean there are parties that still fancy the west, after all of this shitshow, as the west literally is an accomplice in murdering Russians, civilian and military alike?Ilya
Boomers in power in Russia are still mostly charmed with the West. They were brought up to see the West as a model of perfection and this is highly unlikely to change.Katia
