Soggy_Burger 12/08/17 2:38:12 PM #1:	I've never understood it. His domestic approval ratings are always sky high and while you could argue the Russian media is making the numbers up, Russians in online games/forums/reddit/etc. always seem to think him and Medvedev being in charge is the greatest thing. He just announced he's going for a fourth term a couple days ago and the reports expect him to win. --- Coyotes-Suns-Cardinals-Diamondbacks Plz be good Louis... <cite>Soggy_Burger posted [p:891833381] in Why is Put...

electricbugs2 12/08/17 2:44:25 PM #8:	Jokes aside, from Wikipedia: "During Vladimir Putin's first presidency, the Russian economy grew for eight straight years, and GDP measured in purchasing power increased by 72%." As a Canadian, our media has a far less biased position on Putin. It's easy to see why people like him. After the fuckery that was Yeltsin in the 90's, a guy who portrays an image of toughness (He's basically a semi pro hockey player, he hunts bears, he drives racecars etc.) is probably welcomed by a lot of Russians. Not everyone likes him (My friend Nika left Moscow because of him) but between the economy and the way he presents himself, it should be obvious. --- Is sticking your tongue on a 9-volt battery a masculine gesture?-Questionmarktarius <cite>electricbugs2 posted [p:891833752] in Why is Put...

Because bad things happen to you and your family if you don't like Putin And because there is a legitimate propaganda engine presenting him as the pinnacle of strong Russian leadership.
