This country is becoming another USSR after Puttin?s back, And they will still call Russia a free and democratic country.

In my opinion, Putin owns Russia and he thinks he can do whatever he wants to do with it and it's people.

Just like Obama owns the US, and Merkel owns Germany (and probably Greece), Putin owns Russia. But the difference here is that Putin enjoys more than 80% support from his people, while for both Obama and Merkel, it is lower than 30%.

Obama and Merkel don't own their countries like Putin owns Russia. Putin is a near-dictator, and the others aren't.

80% support for Putin? Well. I guess it's easy to get support when you don't have a problem killing your opponents or those who criticize you.
