Putin must be very happy that there are still Australians who are swallowing his Kool Aid. I have to wonder what makes people support a murderous psychopath and tyrant who doesn't allow for freedom of speech, the right to protest, open and fair elections, independent media, open access internet, an independent judicial system etc etc. Russians had far more freedoms in the 1980s under communism than they do now. At least the older Russian citizens have the excuse that the only information they receive is from the lying Russian propaganda machine, but what's your excuse?

The alt right fascists support Putin precisely because he doesn't allow all those things. They have given up on democracy and are prepared to put their trust in despots.
