I didn't know any of those suffered from social instability, but that wasn't the case.

Actually a modern example might be India - certainly diverse and with numerous problems, but their solutions are simply promising something better than Putin's centralisation and vassalisation (e.g. Kremlin nominated, local 'warlords' in Chechenya, Dagestan etc).


When it comes to Russian media - nothing new, actually.
