Russia didn't need an authoritarian state 10 years ago and didn't need one now. Putin never achieved anything without cutting down his opposition.

- hessenwolf 11y agoHow familiar with Russia are you, by the way? Maybe if we trade backgrounds, the conversation could proceed more interestingly... My contacts are mostly through my wife, so I hear it from St. Petersburg, North Ossetia, Georgia, and the Ukraine, with a slightly over-representative Jewish tint. I am none of the aforenamed.
