Probably not, he is a "Czar"... but for at least 2 generations or maybe 3 Russia is NOT mature enough to have a true democracy...just as most Africa and Middle East do not.
As to my point.. in 1989 I was watching the situation on Tiananmen square and I was outraged, yet with a distance of 30 years I can now see that if the Chinese government would have caved in, there would have been 30 or more years of civil war, and today China would be broken up into many " warlord" type of states. China was not ready, just as Gorbachev's Russia was not.
But give it another generation or two and they all will become democratic....just as Eastern Europe did since most of those states had some democratic western history .
