Like all the states that include the suffix "-stan" in their names, 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, familiary "Vlad" has created this newish kleptocratic state with the help of his KGB bred cronies, previously 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 cannot think in the same way as 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 then, Homo post-Sovieticus prefers Mercedes or BMW over Lada and Moskvitch.
It's good to be Vlad's friend, like his childhood buddy who plays the cello, according to the so-called 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, very wisely..

While those who are not his friends call him, e.g. a Botox-Mongol or 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)
"You're right, but then the misery was more evenly distributed than the wealth in today's Putinstan."

The term is pseudo-Latin/dog Latin and a sarcastic reference to the average Joe lived in the Soviet Union and considered by political zealots as the next level of evolution of humanity, nor is this creature of the Marxist social experiment by any means extinct, although this utopian state collapsed into its own impossibility at the latest in December 1991.

In reality the homo sovieticus was an inactive and submissive tool who waded and queued up in the bureaucratic shit creek and whose main characteritics were drunkenness, complete passivity and who contempt for work and common property and avoided all personal responsibility.

Sovok was also an extreme ignoramus who believed uncritically everything what the government's propaganda said, otherwise the coercive power, though with the help of barbed wire, would have collapsed sooner.

There's one essential difference between the Western Homo Sapiens and the mindset of Homo Sovieticus; taking responsibility for their actions. Homo sovieticus will never admit any wrongdoings they have done and will never compensate for the damages - in that respect it is consistent, nor have the Mongols done so though they squatted the Slavs for a quarter of a millennium.
"Russian tourists seem to be miserable drivers."
"It is because of their Homo Sovieticus inheritance, cars are relatively new vehicles for them - they used to travel abroad by tanks when liberated oppressed nations."

Activity occurred in the aforementioned boozing and the theft of common property, in the latter case, the stolen goods were sold and this additional income was used for the goods avaiable on the black markets at high prices due to chronic shortages of certain goods.

Today nothing essential hasn't changed in a mindset of homo post-sovieticus because it is in their genes and Putler's propaganda machinery provides information to the extent that independent thinking is unnecessary.

We wouldn't know anything about the Kardashians if O. J. hadn't chimped out and neither had Robert Kardashian tampered with evidence in favor of his friend Chimpson who was then absolved by the Black-Lies-Matter jury - obviously for them a couple of slashed throats don't matter if the skin color is not right.
