Dictatorship or not... You can use different words to describe Russian style of rule which Russians use to build Russian Empire. ( http://adsessor.narod.ru/Books_pdf/2/Pro... )The most famous victories of Russian Empire (and USSR as a reincarnation of it) are linked directly to persons which the West prefer to name "dictators". Otherwise, Russia always gets weak under so called "democracy". Gorbachev's, Yeltsin's times were very bad for Russia but our "friends" from the West liked them very much. Every Russian, if he loves Russia, must understand this feature:
- so called "Democracy" brings disaster,
- so called "Dictatorship" brings success.
You can like or dislike this style. It does not matter for us, Russians, really.

2 the Media is under state control
I wonder, does it give some profit to create new account on YA and ask another one stupid question in Russia's Travel Section? Are Food Stamps not enough?
If a foreigner talk about the dictatorship in Russia, it will be beaten. So, be happy, that we are separeted by a distance.
