I know that post 1917 the communist regime made the country theoretically democratic, but as soon as Lenin died then Stalin took it back to autocracy again.
My question being, is there reasons other than religious ones that make Russia an autocratic nation?
> lenin got rid of them did he not?
Lenin sank the Kursk? What a cuntski!
What I (not Gayboot of Magic Elfrealm) said was: "Russia has neither to export to the extent of the Earth's main suppliers". Never said they didn't have any, just not as much as countries full of brown people that don't have nuclear weapons stashed away in secret silos.

1. It was Monkey Man, not Goatboy; do you just look at the colour of who posts due to lack of reading skills? If so, is that why you assume every other regular who disagrees with you must be "defending" me?
2. So if you saw it on your TV, it must be true? For a bunch of feared sailors, they did a p!ss poor job when they lost to the Japanese Navy in the early 1900's.
3. Being as how your "research" consists of watching channel 5 and reading The Sun, you'll pardon me if I point at you and laugh at the uneducated room-temperature-IQ melonhead that you are.
There were similarities.
Having the church at the centre of a political group/party would, like you said create the same political goal as the communists.
I know what I am on about, but can't really express it.
Stalin was mad on power and never really intended to give general civil freedoms.
The odd thing about what you said below is the Catholics in Germany joined with the conservatives against communism, which wouldn't be the case if they had similar goals. Unless the Catholic goal has the church as the centre, and communism the party.
Also, Individualism was taken away by the Communist regime so everyone was the same - and worshiped Stalin and Lenin as dictators because they were the individuals people wanted to be.
If democracy thrived in a state like Russia then the people would still not be better off.
Its down to them being an Eastern country - rich economy, poor population, unlike Western countries - such as ourselves where we have a rich economy and the population is generally well off.
Basically what monkey_man was saying about the geographical position of the country - I wouldn't say they lacked resources though.
About right?
