One big difference between Russia and the US is that more people care about abuse of power. The Russian population as a whole seems to be indifferent to Putin's authoritarian actions, so long as he seems to keep Russia a player on the world stage and keeps the standard of living above what it was '91-98.
The population needs the government because the economy isn’t strong.
I do wonder what would happen if we received sancitions and allowed tbejr economy to grow if the people would be more likely to support an anti government candidate.
I am actually waiting to speak to my father in law about this before I comment on what happened, as he is plugged in to that subject.
