How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?

Does any of this sound familiar, America?

Russia is a closed, autocratic regime controlled by a strongman and the wealthy few.

Any form of dissent is crushed immediately, and anyone even suspected of badmouthing the government is rounded up, thrown in prison and/or becomes the victim of an “accident”.

Witness the fate of Alexie Navalny.

Food for thought.

And, the regime has complete control of the media, so when an uprising or other occurrence they deem inappropriate occurs, they squash coverage of it and replace it with their propaganda.

Does the fact that the Ukraine war wasn’t ended in 24 hours like Trump promised mean that he either lied or was too dumb to understand that it is more complicated?
