Once popular Putin faces uprising in Russia....

[Confuseous]

Their grievances vary from the stifling of freedoms to Putin's growing authoritarianism and the calcification of Russia's political life.

But a growing majority of Russians say they are unhappy with the ruling party because it has failed to lift their standard of living,

Low salaries, small pensions, soaring inflation, a crumbling infrastructure and unreliable healthcare - these are the main points of dissatisfaction for most Russians.

But perhaps the biggest problem United Russia faces is its status itself: the status of the party in power. Like the Communist Party of the USSR, United Russia has increasingly become the party of choice for Russia's elites.

Ordinary Russians increasingly resent those in power, seeing their wealth while themselves struggling to simply get by in the world of consumer pleasures that now surrounds them. As revelations of corruption emerge and Russians learn about the ways members of United Russia misuse public funds, the party is now called "Partiya Zhulikov i Vorov", or "The Party of Swindlers and Thieves".

Don't worry lah.

Once a major conflict brow out or a war with US is declared, all the Russians will be re-united again.

There is no strong enemy threatening against them now that's why they fuck each other.

There are many potential flash points brewing war at this time, so the solution is just around the corner.

:p

a government can survive being politically corrupt or administrative incompetent but never never lower the peoples standard of living in general. most democratic or dictatorial govts collapsed of that, peoples will never accept that their standard of living had deteriorated for whatever reasons.
