Putin’s grip over Russia not to be loosen anytime soon

Since the disintegration of erstwhile Soviet Union, Russia is under the tight grip of Vladimir Putin – the dictatorial leader who knows little nothing about the need to tolerate dissent.

Mr. Putin treats Russia as his property. He has successfully brought the entire country under his direct control, breaking the backbone of all who has stood against his aggressive triumph. He is fearless, intolerant and also merciless. For him, any attack against his politics is an attack against his country, Russia.

Lately, he has brought in some interesting changes to the country. He has made the Russian government resign and injected more powers into the country’s lawmaking house. In addition, he has strengthened the Russia council – which is the body of Russian governors.

Though the measures sound impressive, when these are observed closely it is seen that the President’s ambition to sustain his control over his country is what that sits beneath his new plans.

Putin’s Russia faces many challenges at this moment – in the economical as well as in the military front.

Russia needs to find an urgent solution to its stagnated growth. The European country can no longer turn its back on the criticism raised against the country – from inside as well as from outside.
