Communist values like atheism and central planned economy? This is not Putin.
Under Yeltsin decentralization and "privatization" average life expectancy dropped by SEVERAL years - it means MILLIONS of people died. Mobsters supported by international corporations stole most of national wealth. Radical Islamists infested the country. Putin has to fix this mess.
God bless his heart. And listen to the euroweenies and some US officials telling him he is wrong.
Thank God for Sharon, who has stepped out in full support and compassion.
