Russian term

царьки с передаваемой по наследству властью

Russian to English Other Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Чего стоят все умозаключения, все гениальные труды, если и сейчас, в XXI веке, в некоторых странах вновь собираются строить социализм, а на постсоветском пространстве возрождаются средневековые царьки с передаваемой по наследству властью?

Помогите поприличнее фразу оформить - please!

Me too, except it doesn't sound dangerous enough. I think they wear velvet and fight with silver spoons. Also might be antiquated. But it's a nice touch of disparagement (a touch that still comes through if "princes" is taken ironically).
