everything Putin does is defensible on the surface. Sure, the elected governors had issues with corruption, and plenty of democracies dont have elected governors. Case closed.

OTOH all the democracies that are comparable to Russia in size and extent DO have elected governors, 1) Give me your list of democracies comparable to Russia in size, that have elected governors.
2) Our governors ARE elected. The people who elected them do not vote for exact candidate directly. They vote for political parties at local parliament elections. The party who won the election, then offers its candidate for approvement to the president of Russia, whom the people of Russia, aside "the beacon of democracy and the last hope of humankind - US of A", ELECT DIRECTLY, not through electoral college like you do.
The fact that you don't elect your president directly, like the most democracies worldwide, makes USA a dictatorship?
