How do you define a democracy? Do you agree with this definition?
"Derived from two ancient Greek words demos (the people) and kratos (strength). A system of government in which governance of the people is by elected representatives."
If so, was Putin and members of the Duma elected or not?
Who cares about definition of democracy. It is simple you share democratic values or you don’t share. I repeat that from your conditions Arafat was democratic ruler and Hitler probably too cause NSDAP was elected by German people. This is nonsense democracy it is something more than just elections.
