In 2014 the Russian political regime changed, not only in terms of its internal design, but also in terms of how it functions. Through analyzing more than three hundred of the most important decisions made by the regime from 2000-2019, including eighty since 2014, it is possible to understand the internal political design of Putin’s Russia, its strengths, and its weaknesses. The large scale protests that took place in Moscow during the summer of 2019, which involved a variety of actors, serve as a good case to understand the regime's decision-making process.
