Right and its also a myth that Putin suspended elections and appointed party apparatchiks in an effort to further the Putinista notion of pluralism and democracy. I know you’re a Putin fanboy. You don’t have to prove it.

I don’t know precisely what you are referring to. It is true that Russian governors were appointed rather than elected from 2005 to 2012 and have since been elected. My understanding is that this change was made to deal with areas where corrupt governors held enough sway to get elected. In any case, governors are no longer appointed.
