Putin knows what he is doing.

I never doubt that he know! Bad thing is that it isn’t good for Russia and Russians :-(

Maybe he doees.

I agree, that the internal structure of Russian state is a Russian problem only. But I just can't figure out, how cancelation of elections of regional governors and replacing them with presidential nominees "approved" by local parliamentarians is supposed to be a measure to struggle against terrorism.

I also agree, that the Russians can choose any form of government they want, and they can give to Putin any range of power they want. And it is also their problem.

But - do we really have to call it democracy anymore???
