Welcome to Russian Politics! A site directed at learning about one of the worlds most powerful nations.

The transition from a Communist state into democracy has not been a fast, bloodless or easy journey and they can expect to struggle with the 2014 Olympic Games exposing Russia publicly once again. There is a price to pay for freedom.
