Putin has tripled the volume of cases in the courts and incrementally suppressed the abuses of those courts, and yes he has privatized sufficient wealth that the oligarchs and organized crime cannot interfere with his project. But he will never let western decadence into Russia.

@nogg_the @Billbrowder Putin doesn’t have a serious problem, he has an approval rate second only to The Queen. If he had not ‘flinched’ and invaded ukraine, but taken the territory honestly, for rather justifiable reasons, he’d still be man of the year every year, and the most respected politician.
