Another Russia? Putin's invented opposition

Article Abstract:

Russian democracy at present is just a namesake of the real thing with the Kremlin inventing a phony new opposition party called Just Russia, though in reality it is controlled by the rulers themselves. The ruling party's fraudulent methods during elections have infuriated even their obedient opposition and this might pave the way for making the Kremlin adhere to rules and usher in an actual democratic government.

Russian democracy in eclipse: the next generation

Article Abstract:

The generations born after 1986 have no place under the Soviet system. As Putin's autocratic and bureaucratic government is likely to be subjected to short-term political maneuverings, and there are no younger politicians who can come forward to mobilize and lead the next generation, power will still be in the hands of the older generation.

Further, the regime has corruption scandals, and in Russian politics 'money' has the strongest material base and the greatest doubts about its own legitimacy.
