If someone is telling that Russia is social democracy or socialism he doesn't knows about reality .....chatbot or .....person should be placed in ignore list. Also russian nationalists are delusional dreamers....Putin isnt any kind of "defender of socialism", he's the outgrowth of the shift to nationalist capitalism post USSR who the west gradually lost control of.
His whole power base was built on working with the various Oligachs.
Russia does have more oligarchs per capita than U.S so easy to see inequality in income distribution.
Also russian nationalists might be happy that a lot of mining companies in donbas and russia had been sold to armenian origin oligarch and how beautiful pleasure is to work in businesses located in Moscow owned or co owned by chechens etc...
If employee see russian director, CEO and some board member it doesn't means that real owners are slavic origin ppl...
