While inferior to the open alternation of power between two or more political parties, the evolution of United Russia into something resembling the LDP would still leave Russia in a much better shape than a personal regime confined to the Kremlin. Despite Russia’s history after 1917, one dominant political party is preferable to none at all.
尽管没有两党或多党轮流执政的体制那么好，但是让统一俄罗斯党演变成类似于自民党这样的党派对于俄罗斯的局面总见得要比局限于克里姆林宫的个人统治好得多。不管俄罗斯自1917年以来的历史是怎样的，一党独大是任何人所不愿意看到的。
