Putin up for second stint as Russia’s president


ENGLISH:


Vladimir Putin came to power after Boris Yeltsin left office in 2000. His tough stance on Chechnya and Russia’s oligarchs won him domestic kudos.

Under Putin, Russia experienced rapid economic growth. At the same time, he clamped down on political and press freedoms.

When forced to leave office in 2008 by term limits, he introduced his successor, Dimitri Medvedev.

Medvedev talked the reformist talk, which impressed President Obama and other world leaders.

Unfortunately, Medvedev was Putin’s puppet all along and will give up the job for Putin for the next election.

    I suspect Putin & Medvedev will be trading the top czar’s throne back & forth
    for some time to come.  This “apparatus” provides the Russian people the
    level of continuity in leadership they are comfortable with.  And provides
    the western business interests with the fig-leaf of democracy to placate the
    chaotic political systems they manipulate back home.

    Good video, basically reflects the situation in Russia. But I would not say, that in zero’s Russia live better, thah in 1995, for example. Before 1997 Russian people live normally, for Russia of course :) Just crime became less. More precisely crime “moved” from street to others instance. But freedom gone, mostly.

    Of course that my personal opinion.

    Bull shit. Putin is not mad like a king-kong. He’s very very silent and tricky dictator.
