Putin's Russia

BBC One Television screened an interesting programme last evening on Russia.

Putin's Russia with David Dimbleby, written and presented by Dimbleby, explained how Vladimir Putin has remained in power for so long.

The hour-long programme showed how the country is controlled by the FSB, how it is close to impossible to demonstrate against the State. The three main television stations work cap-in-hand with the Kremlin.

The Orthodox Church is a strong supporter of the Russian president.

The growth of wicked right-wing authoritarianism is showing its ugly head in all corners of the world.

God help us.

You could use the same text for Angela Merkel, you would need to change 'right-wing' into 'left-wing' only (see link below)
