Russia is a theocracy

Thanks lol, this is the laugh I needed today

They use religion to sway the public. Putin may rule with an iron fist, but he absolutely does so with the help of religious rhetoric.

That's not what a theocracy is. Plenty of politicians around the world use religion to gain support from the public. Some of the only surviving theocracies exist only in the Middle East.

Religion is a useful tool for Putin, but he isn't subservient to any religious leader.
