My comment on The Times article Sept 9, 2019
The Times view on Russian electoral tactics: Potemkin Democracy
Comment:
"It is a mistake to assign Putin's name to everything in Russia. Yes, he is the leader but this is a collective Communist system, painstakingly formed over many decades of terror, reward and punishment. Anyone thinking that this collective fell apart ought to have his/her head examined.
It is also a mistake to think that there is a whole legion of democrats battling to take over and to finally introduce true democracy.
The Communist system has not fallen apart, neither in Russia nor in other countries, such as Poland. Deception runs deep.
