Political Landscape and Classification: Russia has operated as a semi-presidential republic with a federal structure since 1991. However, the country shows elements of autocracy and oligarchy, raising debates about its political classification, including terms like managed democracy, authoritarian regime, or simulated democracy.
Human Rights Erosion: Russia's human rights record has come under scrutiny, particularly in the wake of the conflict with Ukraine. The country's withdrawal from the Council of Europe and the adoption of laws that disregard rulings by the European Court of Human Rights have cast doubt on its commitment to international human rights standards.
