Actually, calling that "person" a president is not correct at all. All the legal and political terms cannot apply to Russia. Everything was flushed down the toilet there and the concepts were altered. That person is a criminal thug who usurped the power with his cronies. Russia is not a state in legal terms, but the territory run by that clique. And Russian people with their mentality of "slaves" coming from the Golden Horde times, are happy to have those thugs above them... The West just doesn't understand how deep the degradation went there in all layers of society and in all institutes....
