One wonders how other "democratic" governments decide how to create/amend the counties laws.

Do you really wonder?

Because in most democracies, the leader does not pick the legislators nor the judiciary.

So they don't get to come up with their own laws that protect their own interests.

Nah, you must be trolling, even you're not that fucking Klondyke dumb.

Sure 'arry.

Why? It's about Volgograd (Stalingrad). It's all connected. However, I agree with you, it's not quite in line with what you'd like to see...

Russian opposition leader Navalny's website blocked before election

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian authorities blocked opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s website on Thursday a month before a presidential election, a move Navalny said was designed to blunt his campaign for a boycott of what he says is a sham vote.

Roskomnadzor, Russia’s communications regulator, said it had ordered telecoms operators to block parts of Navalny’s site because he had ignored a request to remove material covered in an injunction obtained by Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska.


Deripaska said his claim was related to the dissemination of false allegations about him based on leaked private information and was designed to protect his right to privacy.


“(It) has nothing to do with any political struggle between Mr Navalny and his political opponents,” Deripaska said in a statement.


“Mr Navalny is not a party to the pending case as he was not the primary source of the leaked private information.”


Navalny, who has been barred from running in the March 18 presidential election which incumbent Vladimir Putin is forecast to win, accused the authorities of acting to hinder his campaign aimed at getting people to boycott the election.


They had also wanted to help Deripaska remove information about himself from the public domain, Navalny said, saying he had no intention of voluntarily taking down the material.


The material is part of an investigation Navalny conducted, which alleged that Deripaska met Sergei Prikhodko, Russia’s deputy prime minister, on a yacht belonging to the businessman off the coast of Norway in 2016.


Navalny questioned the ethics of the meeting in which he said the two men discussed U.S.-Russian relations, and he posted what purported to be photographs of the encounter taken from the social media account of a young woman who was also on the boat.


He also issued a YouTube video to accompany his investigation that has been watched over 5 million times.



Roskomnadzor, Russia’s communications regulator, said Instagram had complied with a request to take down related material and that it was waiting for Google to delete Navalny’s YouTube video.


Deripaska, in a statement last week, accused Navalny and others of spreading lies that he had allegedly committed unlawful actions and obtained an injunction from a court in southern Russia requiring media outlets to stop disseminating the disputed content.


Navalny’s website was inaccessible inside Russia for much of the day, though a Navalny ally, Leonid Volkov, said on social media later on Thursday that it was available again via certain Internet providers.

Of course I really don't think Putin is all about defending Mother Russia and the Russian people either.

^Care to illustrate what the post suggest is untrue?

I suggest you read the whole fucking fairytale, not the edited version.

Then again, being a putin brown noser, you'll swallow every word.

Which post are you referring to when you say "the edited version", a'rry?

But what did I ask immediately after that quote I used Harry? oh this: . . ."but are the Russian people the true beneficiaries of Putin's policies? Why is Putin so close to this (((oligarch))) who resides in London? Is it "The City" and it's errand boy Abramovich who's calling Putin's tune?"

That's just a load of irrelevant waffle. No point in debating pro-Putin opinion pieces, it's mostly nonsense. The gist of that article is that Putin is a hero who saved Russia, when in fact he's spent most of his career raping it and destroying any semblance of a free press and democracy.

That has been going on for centuries before The LORD was a twinkle in his daddies eye.

Correct. All he's done is consolidated the power of the politburo into his own hands.

I do believe you're finally starting to get it.

One can see the countries that their "leaders" have improved their citizens lot. Equally one can see which countries slide into oblivion.

I think Russians 'lot' would be greatly improved if they had a free press, the right to vote for who they want, and most importantly the return of the billions of dollars Putin has allowed his cronies to steal and park in the Cayman Islands/BVI/Panama/Swiss banks from which they pay their tithes to his own personal "savings account".

To me, speaking as a lowly US subject, this part of that "waffle" rings very true:

Across the United States of America, schools are closing, factories have shut their doors, and once prosperous neighborhoods are dotted with foreclosed homes. The younger generation has a much lower standard of living than its parents. Household debt is at record levels, while wages continue to decrease. The highways, railroads and water systems of the United States are in decay.

In the analysis of this writer, the boom in Eurasia, as well as the declining state of western world, is due to a simple reality. In the western countries, it is corporations and capitalists that have all the power, and control the government, using it to protect their profits. Society crumbles as a small elite, without any real loyalties, enriches itself.

The first paragraph, yes.

The second paragraph is utter fucking nonsense.

"Boom in Eurasia"?

One of the key factors in the decline of the West is that all the manufacturing is being done in Asian shitholes for 50 cents a fucking day.

Boom for who?

Maybe even the same small elite too.

Those in power line their own pockets. That seems to be a given whether in democracy, oligarchy or dictatorship.
