Since when
I answered it more in a post down thread, but Russia is an extremely oppressive state.
Properties and enterprise can be taken by the government without trial, No freedom of speech, media is almost entirely controlled by the state, freedom of movement is limited, the non wealthy are forced into the military. Unless you're un elitist, it is a real shit hole country.
Very little is different from the communist state. If you don't have connections to the party, you're subject to the whims of those people.
The only real difference in policy from communist USSR and today is they now openly endorse the Russian Orthodox Church... but, in a way that bastardizaes Christianity, so I would say it's just another extension of communism.
