That Putin, like other dictators, still props up a facade of democracy and the constitution shows he sees and fears the people. It gives people something to talk about & deflects attention from the only person in real power for 20 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Dictatorships require the illusion of total control and predictability. Putin wants to make sure there are no doubts as to who's in charge through 2024 and beyond. As I wrote years ago, he wants to be Supreme Leader, not a mere president. — PolitiTweet.org

This lip service to the rule of law also gives free world leaders a feeble excuse not to treat Putin like the brutal dictator he is. To do pipeline business, launder his oligarchs' money, etc. It shows how much such approval & access matters to both sides. — PolitiTweet.org
