'Controlled' democracy, if such a thing exists. Imagine post-WWII Germany except all the Nazis are still in power. Thats the problem with current Russian government. Most politicians are ex-party members, not young Russians leading in a new direction.

I started this thing so let me take responsibility for what I've started, I was never a Monarchy supporter at first I belived all the things written/said on T.V./history books against the Tsar but when I startedready books with written by not just Bishops but Saints about the Tsar I was shocked, I was thinking {"how can this be?! what we were always told is he controled people/ he ruthlessly killed people and kings are no good all they do is controll the people thats what we (all of us who were against Monarchy not just Rus Monarchy but espescialy Rus Monarchy) were told, then I started finding out that 1.thats what the commies were always saying about Tsar so Rus people will never want Monarchy to come back. 2. 99% of what they did write was exagerated and were also lies about him/for example if someone writes literacher over and over again saying Rus people come from Spain Rus Kings sold penutbuter as there way of life just that many times people will actually belive it, the commies took the land from Rus people and said "this is for your own good" this isn;t for the Rus people's good but they (the commies) actually succieded in making them belive it, 3.Stalin killed over 25,000 preists and I don't know how many Bishops and 20-70 million people, I have other more info on these things but I would like people to respond back in a nice respectable way insted of saying there ideas in a mean way, there is so much things we can learn from the Church things that we didn't think the Church teaches.
