“Russia’s not communist anymore. “

Just led by the old corrupt communists.


AI Overview
Information suggests that Vladimir Putin’s background in the KGB has influenced his rule in Russia. He joined the Soviet intelligence service (KGB) in the 1970s and worked as a foreign intelligence officer for 15 years. He grew up idealizing the KGB and saw its decline with the Soviet Union’s collapse as a major setback.

Regarding his rule, Putin has been in power since 1999 and is considered by some to be a dictator. His political career has been characterized by consolidating state power, curbing the influence of those who do not support him (such as some oligarchs), and strengthening state security.
