          After around 1919 and before Stalin USSR was democratic. And from 80-ies to the end. And democracy ended about 1996. Then shooting parlament from tanks, then Eltsin names his successor, then his successor wins, then removal of gubernator elections in 2002-2003, and everything else.

          And in comparasion USSR was more democratic than empire except Stalin time. Stalin time managed to be even worse.
