What a daft comment, of course not. But the SU never threw the working class to wolves, which is what happened when the ex-SU peoples got their long-awaited wish of living in a consumer society. So now they know both sides of the coin, they have more political experience than anyone else to come up with something totally new. And sure, Putin's authoritarian now. Let's see what he really is when he defeats the mafia, oligarchs, US-backed jihadists, etc., who've been trying to eviscerate Russia.
