More and more - even a few pages back in this very thread - we see people being generally ok with the idea of what Russia is under Putin. The freaking president admires the man and has at least partially started down that path.
Interesting too how Putin consolidated power through fears of Chechen terrorism, especially the apartment blasts in Moscow. I won't get into that conspiracy theory, but there's some meat on those bones.
It is absolutely insane.
