Putinism refers to the method of governance of the ruling Russian regime under Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and its ideology. It is speculated that it is ideologically influenced by the works of Lev Gumilyov's Eurasianism and Ivan Ilyin's clerical fascism, as he regularly quotes both authors and similarities have been noted.
The Putinist regime is deeply authoritarian and is often considered to be a kleptocracy and a dictatorship although it carries the label of a democracy. One of the most prominent features of Putin's regime is Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Chekism, a phenomenon where security forces enjoy massive power over society. Putinist economics included nationalization of critical industries, and state interventionism combined with market economics. Putin's administration used to be categorized as an oligarchy, where the nation promoted both local and foreign private investment while most of large private companies being owned by oligarchs, but this changed when Putin established stricter control over Russia and its economy (through state ownership, oligarchs close to the government or mixed ownership between the state and oligarchs), beginning the process of centralizing power while still remaining a market economy.
Putin established stronger government intervention than during the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Yeltsinist era, creating a system where the economy's ownership is monopolized by the state for its interests, particularly in strategic fields like oil and gas as well as the military. Putinism criticises neoliberalism's social and economic policy, often aligning with both right-wing and left-wing populism.
Putin supports Russian conservatism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Eurasianism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination anti-LGBT rhetoric, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination nationalism, a mixed economy and orthodox christian values; in addition he supports Russian Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Irredentism and rejects Western culture.
History
The late 1990s saw the rise of the of future leader and dictator of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Russia, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Vladimir Putin. Within merely two years, 1997-1998, Vladimir Putin had become one of the most prominent politicians of the Russian Federation. On 25 July 1998, Yeltsin appointed Putin director of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination the Federal Security Service (FSB), the primary intelligence and security organization of the Russian Federation and the successor to the KGB. In 1998, he virtually privatized power in the country, ousting Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Boris Nemtsov and other liberals from all positions in the struggle for power. A year later Putin was appointed Acting Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation by President Yeltsin. By ingratiating himself with Russia's top leadership, Putin managed to gain the position of Director of the FSB, which gave him access to the voluminous archives of compromising evidence he used against Nemtsov, presumably Yeltsin's real successor, in order to oust him.
Vladimir Putin would reach wide international recognition for his actions during the Second Chechen War. In September 1999 a series of explosions that were attributed to Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination the Chechen Mujahideen hit four apartment blocks in the Russian cities of Buynaksk, Moscow and Volgodonsk (However, it's thought that the FSB planted the explosives themselves to try and gain more support for a second war in Chechnya). The Russian Apartment Bombings gained the Russian government full public approval for a new full-scale war in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Chechnya, which boosted the popularity of now Prime Minister Putin who took a leading role in the war.
Despite the tremendous damage caused by the Second Chechen War, it was clear at this point that Putin was one of Yeltsin’s most loyal followers and his eventual successor. On 31 December 1999, Yeltsin unexpectedly resigned and, according to the Constitution of Russia, Putin became Acting President of the Russian Federation and on the same day signed a presidential decree that shielded the former president and his family from prosecution for corruption charges. Throughout his first presidential term, engaged in a violent “power struggle” with the Russian Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination oligarchs, eventually reaching a 'grand bargain' with them. This bargain allowed the oligarchs to maintain most of their powers, in exchange for their explicit support for and alignment with Putin's government. One notable Yeltsin-era oligarch who got the short end of the stick was Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mikhail Khodorkovsky, former CEO of the oil company Yukos and possibly the richest man in Russia at the time. Khodorkovsky was arrested in 2003 by Russian authorities on charges of fraud and sentenced to nine years in prison. It is widely believed that Vladimir Putin personally embezzled the wealth acquired by Khodorkovsky and Yukos, possibly becoming one of the richest men in the world.
Initially, Vladimir Putin actively supported friendly relations with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Western countries and even suggested that then-President Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Clinton consider Russia as a possible Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination NATO member.
In 2008, he moved into the seat of prime minister for 4 years with all his powers, making Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Dmitry Medvedev the formal president.
In 2012 Putin returned to the presidency through another rigged presidential election, which understandably provoked a deterioration in relations with Western countries. Already in 2014, after the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination, Russia occupied Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Crimea and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationError creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Donbass, thereby starting a limited war with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Ukraine, which markedly increased the deterioration of relations with the collective West. As a result of these events, Putin divided the ranks of opposition-minded Russians and thus, by sowing panic in the ranks of the enemy, was able to guarantee an extension of his rule for at least another 10 years, which meant he could help Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination his ally Assad in Syria to stay in power during the more intense phase of the Syrian civil war.
In 2020, Putin adopted a new Constitution of the Russian Federation, further strengthening his power and the power of the oligarchs. According to the new constitution, the president's term was nullified.
In 2022 he launched a full-scale invasion to solve the "Ukrainian question", which he called a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination 'Special Military Operation' to 'denazify' Ukraine. For this reason, Russia's relations with the West deteriorated much more, and well-known multinational corporations and other Western brands left the Russian market, which negatively affected the Russian economy, but not to the degree that was expected. The population in poverty in Russia has doubled since then, but the Russian Federation seems to be holding on for now.
Personality
Putin is very solitary, but can be charismatic and bring joy to others if he needs to. He is always bored, or at least seems to be since he rarely changes his facial expression. He is obviously Russian, and talks with a Russian accent. He enjoys vodka, hunting, playing the piano, swimming in freezing water and riding on the backs of real live bears to show his strength. However, he has gradually evolved to become extremely violent when tempted. Due to this, as well as his power, Putinism is widely feared by other balls (particularly those belonging to the cultural left and economic right) while earning some respect from anti-liberal or ideologies.

Relationships
Friends
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Lukashenkoism - My loyal ally in Belarus and my best companion. He's helped me all this time. Soon, my friend, the Union will be reborn.
But why do you think I supported Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Sergei Tikhanovsky?Relations were kinda complicated in the 2000s when I tried to pay him in exchange for recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia. He's a little conservative with the changing world order but this can be amended. - Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Yanukovychism - Back when Ukraine was based. He was overthrown in a coup by the CIA and the Maidanites in the horrible colour revolution. He was the last leader of Ukraine before Globalism took over.

Regardless, you criticized me for not going into Ukraine sooner and ordering a retreat from Kherson to save up manpower, and that I do still remember. However, you are one of my closest friends and you advocate for me. Let's toast to a new Eurasia, and celebrate our victories against the Western expansionists together.

- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Communism - While the Soviet Union was the apex of historical Russia, the economic model was destined to crumble at some point. The collapse of the Union was a tragedy besought upon Russia that separated people from each other, but the planned economy ruined us.

- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Pinochetism - An inspiration for me[5][6] and I like the way you deal with opposition, but you go too far with liberal economics, and some of you call me communist and/or leftist. I won't support you anymore as I would be betraying my leftist Latin American buddies who hate you.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Wagner Group - Good job in Ukraine and Africa, keep going. HOWEVER.. In light of recent events we might need to change our relationship. So, uh, yeah enjoy your time in Belarus while your soldiers sign military contracts with us and we blow up your leader's jet.
Lukashenko coming in clutch was something I would've never expected.. - Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Neoconservatism (during 2000s) - Your expansion in Eastern Europe is harmful for Russia, but I will support you in the war on terror
because that would help me to defeat Chechen separatist terrorists, and it would not be a bad idea to join NATO. - Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Zhirinovism - While your nationalist rhetoric is based, you're merely a populist who wanted attention. And no, we will not be restoring the Tsarist flag. Still, rest in peace.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Yeltsinism - You ruined our great nation while licking Western boots, and you were a drunk and stupid leader. Words cannot sufficiently describe how much of a disgrace you are to the Russian people.

I have supported anti-Western governments, and will continue to advance Eurasianist integration for the good of the world.
- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination George W. Bushism - Holy shit. And people are calling me evil. When’s the U.N issuing your arrest warrant? How dare you criticise my special military operation! You still can't find WMDs in Iraq!

- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination European Federalism - Europe must be attached to the Eurasian continent, not your American Atlanticist slave masters! Break your chains Europe! Free yourselves from the USA!

- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Jihadism - Bombings in Syria go brrrrrrrr! Oh, and I invaded Chechnya after their terrorists attacked Dagestan, then I installed Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Kadyrov as Chechen leader.
- All Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination LGBT ideologies - You’re all just sick Western degenerates that want to destroy the Motherland with your wokeness. Stay away from the children! Those
