With political parties driven into irrelevance, parliament turned into a rubber stamp agency, and national television networks taken under government control, public discourse has all but disappeared. Ideas may be voiced, but there's barely any audience, and these utterances don't resonate; they die away with no implications or consequences.
随着政党变得无足轻重，议会也变成了橡皮图章的代理，国家电视网被政府控制，公众讨论完全消失了。人们可以发表意见，但却几乎没有听众，这些言论也得不到共鸣；它们自生自灭，留不下任何涵义或影响。俄罗斯社会被原子化了，在任何一个利益集团，不论专业的还是社会的，也不论大小，都感受不到凝聚力、团结和集体的驱动力。
