User:Bryan See/Putinism

Putinism, also known as the Putinist, describes the Russian government under Putin where siloviki, the military-security establishment, controls much of the political and financial power. Many siloviki are Putin's personal friends or previously worked with him in state security and intelligence agencies, such as the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the military. It is a Russian nationalistic authoritarian form of government that pretends to be a free market democracy, and owes more of its lineage to fascism than communism; depending on the Russian economy growing rapidly enough that most people had rising standards of living and, in exchange, were willing to put up with the existing soft repression. As Russia's economic fortunes changed, Putinism was likely to become more repressive.

Putinism is a unique hybrid of several "isms" combining fascism, communism, stalinism, anti-westernism, anti-liberalism, anti-humanism, irrationalism, eclecticism, traditionalism, khuiloism (especially among pederasts), sadism, imperialism, colonialism, militarism, narcissism, Luddism, Russian nationalism and chauvinism, along with "religious" extremism, advocacy of oligarchic and kleptocratic supremacy, praising of misogyny (especially for those who beat and rape young girls and women), homophobia, technophobia, paranoia and in all probability many more "isms".
