Would you have someone with a vested interest in the country running it, or someone who gets elected, steals from the country and runs off without consequence after 8 years? ;)

Well in that case, why not just have the tsars back. Because that worked out so splendidly well for russia last time, now didn't it.

  Compare the Tsars to what came after the Tsars and since the Tsars. :)

    I guess you prefer having someone who does not get elected and steals for 24 years in a row better?

Is there any particular reason you believe Russia is unable to elect someone who doesn't steal from the country and is also not a borderline autocrat? I know the track record isn't great, but I'm curious if you reckon that's inherent.

  Seems like it's inherent to me, and I really can't describe why. It just seems that in terms of internal politics, Russia has always been very dark and bleak. :(
