The Purpose of a Police State Relies on Security Guarantees

The effectiveness of a police state lies in providing security guarantees to its citizens. When an internal threat is identified, such as a potential massive attack, and security is perceived as weak, it questions the very purpose of living in a police state. In the case of Vladimir Putin, if security is not assured in a police state, the entire concept becomes futile. Therefore, ignoring internal threats can undermine the credibility and effectiveness of a police state, as citizens expect security guarantees in exchange for living under such stringent governance.
