putin is a de facto dictator.
Putin would win elections if he decided to compete. You will say that he control mainstream media. Yes he does. How the EU bureaucracy is different? In other thread in this section I'm exposing true face of their "democracy". Pro-EU propaganda is not worse than Putinist for sure. I don't remember any anti-EU programs in Polish public TV or mainstream private media like Polsat or TVN. This is already became comical, I watch little TV but every time I do what I see?
Nearly every commercial break in these TV stations is filled with pro-EU advert, the message is that thanks to their cash Poland will become Eldorado. Recently I noticed these spots even on "Extreme Sport" channel that probably few people watch. This propaganda campaign cost fortune and is financed by money from European taxpayers, no matter what they think about the EU. Both in Russia and the EU people opposed to these regimes can communicate via small media outlets
not subsidized by the EU. This is clearly a tie between both regimes on this issue.
