How is Putin a capitalist and not a social democrat if he wants to re-nationalise the heavy industries which were frankly stolen by the oligarchs ?
Personally I think his stance on Chechnya is pig-headed, but overall under him Russia is doing better than it was 10 years ago.
Most people in Russia have little faith in democracy anyway, as they perceive western democracy as a commodity which is often bought and sold by those with money.
