Gorbachev triggered a wave of pro-democracy Russians

<:laugh:583238348077006869>

they got it in 1991

"democracy" let's say

it's pretty flawed

putin

Putin was democratically elected

1990's russia was no different than post-yugo serbia tbh

and became a dictator

No he didn’t

He’s not a dictator

he didn't lmao

Putin

He’s been re elected like 4 times

Did you learn about the recent reformations

Since there’s no limit

he's trying to elongate his rule over Russia through sketchy stuff

it doesn't mean it's dictatorship

ok
