This does not imply that a government must rule by fear, as past Russian governments did: in this respect, Putin's government is as good as any Russia has ever had.
Cela ne signifie pas que c'est un rÃ©gime de terreur comme la Russie en a tant connu. De ce point de vue, le gouvernement de Poutine fait bonne figure comparÃ© Ã ses prÃ©dÃ©cesseurs.
