I'm no fan of putin personally i think he's dangerous and is a threat but Russia has a large nuclear arsenal and that means different rules for them like it or not.
Same rules as has always been .Russia has always been unpredictable there's no change there ,the only real difference is that Trump will let them get away with it because he's an idiot

No not at all.A country aligned with religion could be a democracy if it allows non believers a say in how the country is run .The UK is defined as a Christian country but we allow Muslims and all other religions a vote ,Israel does not allow most Palestinians to vote from a Palestinians point of view Israel is a dictatorship
