Oleg Kashin: "What's wrong with Putin"

“Putin is a usurper. That is, in many ways he came to do something that had already been usurped, but this hardly justifies him: he could have used the power he received differently, but he did it like this. All the institutions of the state that existed in the Russia that once elected him president, he either replaced them with fictitious ones, or made them his property. Before Putin, there was some kind of parliament in Russia, now there was no parliament in Russia, and now there is no court in Russia. regional power, now it is gone, and the regions are fiefdoms for Putin’s people.

Putin is the enemy of progress and the enemy of culture. The conscious continuous archaization of society is Putin, he does it on purpose.”
