I don’t really see much true democracy else where in other countries either.
Are you also out of tune.
Do you at least know a minimum wage in Russia? In many parts of the country it is about 90bucks (yes, people actually work for that amount)
You think a president that has been reelected eons of times and has been ruling for 20 years is a coincidence?
What about Crimea? Maybe you think it was legally taken from Ukraine?
Do you know how many other crimes that country has done over the last 100 years? You realize that most people over there think that USA is a complete shithole that wants to destroy their great leader and Russian federation?
Do you think it is nice to poison people in other countries using strictly forbidden chemical weapons?
Why do you think most of the world does not want anything to do with that country if the government of it is such a great company of people?
Do you know that Putin is probably wealthiest man in the world (while most of that countries people live beyond poverty level)?
That is a criminal conglomerate, and anyone who thinks otherwise - doesn't have any clue/has their head in their butt/simply lack information.
