The president is seemingly just a figure for public acknowledgment while the real power lies in the hands of the Russian mob; the Russian mob controls: media, government and the popular opinion of the nation. ]]> 2018-05-02 15:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306280 148582 https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306322 The similarities is that people still are getting punished for putting things on the media and the difference is that there is a president.]]> 2018-05-02 15:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306322 188813 https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306329 Communist Russia was completely controlled by a dictator, and even though the people were supposed to have a say, they couldn't even build a hotel properly without questioning Stalin. The new Russia is supposed to be democratic, but their media is still very biased, and their "president" still acts like a dictator in many situations. ]]> 2018-05-02 15:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306329 vibexdany https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306421 Indeed. It is inevitable that as time passes, everything morphs into anew, whether it be by force or through experience; meanwhile other ideals prevail.

Some differences between them are that when Russia was communist, they had been ruled by a dictator who would take control of the people. Whenever someone would go against him and his ideals, there would be consequences for them. On the other hand, Russia is shown to be as a democratic nation rather than a communist one, however it doesn't seem like that. ]]> 2018-05-02 15:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306484 177945 https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306486 Even though Russia is no longer a communist nation after it was banned by Boris Yeltsin in 1991, there exists a political party called the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. It is very popular with a 40% up-vote so even though Russia is now a democracy, it is possible for communism to return in Russia.]]> 2018-05-02 15:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306486 137600 https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306570 russia back then had an anthem back then and now russias anthem is the same, now theres differences of political structure, media and military changes. ]]> 2018-05-02 15:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306570 1292183 https://padlet.com/137808/htvwe9u4o57x/wish/257306744 Back then there was communism and Russia was run by a dictator.
