Wow, how did I miss this one?

Single-party system: Not even close to truth.

You're right, there are 4 of them. According to the wiki link, they are Conservative Statism (communists), actual communists, nationalist imperialists (communists), and democratic socialists (communist lite). They all seem to have the same interests though (nationalism, socialism, and imperialism)

Identification of enemies as a Unifiying Cause: Half-truth here, it's correct for ukraine too.

Only because they were attacked, invaded, and occupied by theirs for 70 years. Can't blame them for being a little nervous, can you?

Militarism: Not even close to truth, there were no "anti-terrorist operation" or illegal mobilization.

I guess Crimea and the troops invading eastern Ukraine is legal? Then again, when you have a one party system that makes everything it wants to do legal, this point is kinda moot.


By the way, our president and government officials don't pose in camouflage,

Really? Then who's this guy? https://www.google.com/search?q=putin+in+camo&client=tablet-android-google&rlz=1Y3KTZR_enUS595US595&espvd=1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sboxchip=Images&sa=X&ei=Dxj-U976MpCdygT0q4CQBg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=800&bih=1232

Controlled mass-media: Not even close to truth. The most of federal TV channels are private owned,

Most of "federal TV channels?" Did you mean to say federal? And most of the media under Hitler was privately owned, but that doesn't mean they weren't careful about what they reported, if they knew what's good for them. Hell, Fox News is privately owned, and is a blatantly obvious media arm of the Republican party here in US. So just because you are privately owned, doesn't mean you are "free."
