“History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient.”
— Vladimir Putin
Simplified Meaning:
Governments run by dictators or single rulers don't last forever. These leaders might control people for a while, but in the end, their power fades away. Take for example the fall of the Soviet Union; it was a strong, authoritarian state, but eventually, it collapsed and countries within it moved towards democracy. Democratic governments, where people have the power to vote and choose their leaders, tend to last longer because they adjust and improve based on what people want. This means that societies where everyone's voice is heard are more stable and enduring. People can apply this wisdom by supporting democratic values and systems, ensuring that everyone's rights and voices are respected, leading to long-term stability.
