Okay, so he didn't "lose an election". My bad.

But, then you point out exactly why I think Putin is a dictator; The sitting president appoints him Prime Minister and he then doesn't return the favor by "letting him term limit out" in a fashion reminiscent of the bloody Soviet Politburo.

Thanks.

Oh that's right, I forgot. It was all a big lie, the Soviet government was full of sweethearts who just got a little naughty on occasion.
