I worked in russia, and would have stayed had I not been married. When I was there they were liberalizing their gun laws to allow citizens the right to own pistols for their protection. Rifles and shotguns were already legal.

I'm no fan of representative government as it leads to the type of government we have today, and the type of society we have today. I have always believed in benevolent dictatorship (e.g., vIking societies) as perpetual compromise leads to a least common denominator style rule of idiots. The thing about a benevolent dictatorship is that it requires moral leadership; one that places the good of the whole above the good of the leader. Very few qualify as that type of person.

I like Putin because he is a no bs-type leader, but he is not especially moral ($200 billion dollar net worth in a uniquely poor country), and I'm not convinced he has his people's best interest at heart. Mother Russia's yes. His people's, not so sure.

I've always considered Russia to be a bastion for white people (hopefully, not the last). The Rus were viking descendants, and cold climes are where we originated, and what protects us from the untermensch. Purging the government of ex-communists, and jews, would be required for it to prosper. Given the proper environment (intellectual, and property rights, no federal reserve, minimal/no sovereign debt, no income tax, etc.) an all white society will out produce, and out prosper, any, and all other, nations.
