How much control is Putin over Russia?

[Simi1101]

Well, Putin pulls out everything of the toolset a dictator can do.
- He is using a high amount of propaganda and misinformation (that interestingly the marginal intelligent and uneducated in the West fall for)
- He suppresses opposition
- He arrests, daunts and kills critics
- He annuls democratic institutions and election laws to prolong his tenure.
- He controls economy

So yes, he has pretty tight grip on Russia.

And no he is not a puppet of Oligarchs. They live in a symbionitc relationship.
Until know. But Putins imperialistic wrath is against their interests.

... QAnon idiots, conspiracy theorists, Trumpists, closet fascists, far right wankers in general.

How do those at the pinnacle of a not very democratic state live in "symbiotic" relationships?

Have you done any research on this topic, or do you seek all of your wisdom from a porn forum? Putin is like a mob boss. He has helped many of the oligarchs to acquire great wealth but that wealth is conditional on obedience to Putin because he has the power to have them jailed if they go against him, and he has done exactly this in the past.
