What Happened in Russia in 1999?

In 19 nine, two thousand, when putin just emerged as leader, we had this predatory amape style nomenclatura pos sovet elite. They wanted to centralize control over economy, major essets and financial floes. So they merged into one party, united russia. That happened in the middle of two thousand one. Since then, they won super majority in parliament, and dictatorship was signed and sealed. Suitas: Many people in lisdom and klatura who actually wanted to do this... i would say it could have been somebody else.
