@andersostlund@ninaivanovna system was built by Yeltsin. He made prez powerful when he fired on Duma 1993 -
@joshuaandy17@andersostlund Don't forget the scam they pulled with the Constitution, making it super-presidential. -
@joshuaandy17@andersostlund Again, the system is rotten to the core, and it was created that way. It was not an accident. -
@joshuaandy17@andersostlund The only way this could have turned out differently is if a massive lustration campaign had been done. -
@joshuaandy17@andersostlund But it wasn't, and this is the end result. -
@joshuaandy17@andersostlund And again, the blame does not lie squarely with one person. A group of people have benefited from this system. -
@joshuaandy17@andersostlund And many of them are still around.
