If you think USA is like Russia, you're way off. USA is a flawed democracy. Very flawed, but still a democracy, since your votes matter. Russia is an informational autocracy. It's ruled by a spin dictator who lies the country is a democracy whilst killing his real opponents and posing clowns as his real ones. Mind you, I am Russian.

Edit: Now that I'm looking at it again, US may be considered a capitalist oligarchy, I'm fine with that classification. I do, however, disagree about Russia being one, it's informational autocracy (hence "way off" to begin with)
