Political groups under Vladimir Putin's presidency

Okay, so imagine you're playing with some toys with your friends. Some of you might like to play dolls, while others might like to play cars. These are like different political groups in a country.

Now, in Russia, there is a man named Vladimir Putin who is in charge and makes the rules. He has been the leader for a long time, kind of like how your parents are in charge of your house.

Under Putin's presidency, there are different political groups. Some of these groups support Putin and what he is doing, while others don't like what he is doing and want things to be different. These groups are like different teams in a game, trying to win and get their ideas heard.

Some of the groups that support Putin are called the United Russia party and the Russian Orthodox Church. They think Putin is doing a good job and want things to stay the way they are.

Other groups, like the Communist Party and the Liberal Democratic Party, don't like Putin and want things to be different. They might want more freedoms or a different leader altogether.

Just like how you can have different opinions about what games to play, there can be different opinions about politics. It's okay to have different opinions, but it's important to respect other people and listen to what they have to say.
