does putin scare anyone else

I put this here as it is more of a current event thing than a politics thing imho- So a few days ago NPR had major coverage of some of the changes that vladimir putin is making in Russia- apparently he is, among other things, making a bunch of regional posts by appointment, by him, rather than elected, and changing a lot of the system, away from democracy- Did anyone else hear this, cause I cannot find much coverage on it- I know the U.S. state dept. released a statement saying they were "deeply concerned"
I personally have to echo that- to the point of being concerned that russia may evolve into a dictatorship soon- I am opening the floor to you guys cause I am wondering if i am the only one who sees this going bad quickly, and because there doesnt seem to be any coverage on it.......at least by the us media....
