He is ex-KGB, is still a communist and is turning the country back to the same . Why does it matter? Because he wants to appear to be an iron fist ruler.

yeah but i don't think many care, it's a weird path to embark on because his stunts don't scare people and it's not like he's the legitimate leader of the country. also by the time the next president is elected i would hope someone outside his sphere of influence is chosen so then he'll just be an adventurous old man who used to run it all.
lilith - good site
the17sss - i'm surprised that donkey didn't have a heart attack and die up there.

I'm surprised you said this, knowing what you know about Russian politics. The next president will not so much be "elected" as he'll be selected by the current brass.

This is the truth.
Wai: Were you aware of why Putin was put as the PM? In Russia, you can only serve so many concurrent terms as president before you must ascend the throne to someone else....for at least 1 term. Then you can serve again. If I remember correctly, this has now been eliminated or heavily weakened since then.
