YEah, no surprise there. See past the veil, Rus never changed when the un-dethroneable president is "ex" KGB.

Actually it did change. The life expectancy plummeted dramatically during the 90s after the collapse of the USSR and is still recovering, and the whole ideology of the government has shifted. It is a completely different country to what it was when the KGB was a thing.
