Like all states with the suffix "-stan," such as Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, all of them are known as top-notch states, and definitely mighty Putinstan makes no exception.
Vladimir Putin has created this kleptocratic state with the help of his KGB bred cronies, which was formerly known as the Russian Federation.
If Putinstan were a mental illness, it would be paranoia. It is aggressive and threatening to all, its neighbours and its own people who are nonconformists with the ruling elite, in that respect the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree, referring to the Soviet Union.
However, something has changed since Soviet times, Homo post-Sovieticus prefers Mercs and BMWs over crappy domestic ones.
It's good to be Putin's friend, like his childhood buddy who plays the cello, according to the leaked Panama papers his bank account was ca. 4 billion and they weren't even rubles - or he's a hell of a musician who has been able to invest his gig fees wisely, very wisely..
While those who are not his friends call him e.g. Botox-Mongol, Putler.

Didja know that in the Soviet Union all citizens were equal but some citizens were more equal than others?" (a modified George Orwell quote)
"Yeah, but then the misery was more evenly distributed than the wealth in today's Putinstan."
