Since Russia have had regular elections since the fall of the Soviet Union one can NOT call it a Dictatorship. On the other hand there is a number of serious shortcomings which raises question about the state of Russian democracy, and still makes Russia's neighbours suspicious. Firstly, there is a lack of a free press as the main media are controlled by Putin supporters and doesn't allow competing parties to argue their case in the time running up to elections. Secondly, Russia needs to have the 'Rule of law' before it can be classified as a working democracy. President Medvedev has been speaking about these and other problems (like widespread corruption) since his election, but it remains to be seen whether any action will be taken or he is just trying to neutralise the opposition by playing 'Good cop / Bad cop' together with Putin.
Kievan Rus was the medieval state that occupied the land presently known as Russia. Kievan Rus was an oligarchy as it was ruled by the few. The political system was mainly divided up into 3 sections:
princes: who had the highest say
boyars: the princes advises (sort of a unofficial parliament "duma")
veche: the town assembly where the male head of a house hold could vote
kievan rus was not an autocracy (the rule by one), or a democracy (the rule by the many)
Russia is now a democratic federation as the 1993 constitution declares it to be.
