"We have everything – a parliament, courts, a president, a prime minister and so on; but definitely not democracy. It's more of an imitation democracy. It's not Putin's business to decide who rules Russia. It must be decided by the Russian people in elections." - 80 year old former Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev of the "Gorbachev, tear down this wall" fame.
President Mikhail Gorbachev was reacting to Putin's comment that he and President Dmitry Medvedev would decide between them who would (rule Russia) run for office of president in March 2012. Icheoku adds, what a pity that the once mighty Russia has so degenerated that it has now become the private property of this two petite men? If only Russians would disengage from their love for the Vodka, may be they would be able to organize like those Tunisians and Egyptians and shove this two little men aside. Or is a Czar Putin in the pipeline and in the future of mother Russia?
