Доброе время суток!
There are major changes under way in Russia. Putin is emerging as far more than a democratically elected president. He is taking control of the Russian machinery of government and extending the government's power -- and his own -- substantially. This does not surprise us. Whatever Russia is to be, it will be authoritarian, as it has always been. Its experiment with both capitalism and liberal democracy has not gone well, and Russia's standing in the world has declined rapidly. We believed that when Putin came to power in 1999 he intended to reintroduce authoritarianism and curtail the power of the oligarchs. As we put it then: The probability that the economy of Russia would be dominated in perpetuity by a Jewish oligarchy was too preposterous to contemplate.
