So don't live there. I think they have some terrific things going, thanks to Putin, and a few Russian friends of ours agree.

From what I can see, it's the liberals who are whining.

Boo-hoo, they threw out Soros and won't let the left deface Christian icons and call it art. They refuse to allow gays to get married. A veritable police state. Cry me a river.

Geeze, the anti-Putin posts here make me want to puke. I thought this was a conservative forum.

What Russians people will have with few good reforms if now Putin will back to the communistic values? They started democratization and now they will back in time. Russia must be a stabile country without dictators, without communists it is question of stability of all region and even world.

Well, geez, how did you expect people on a "conservative forum" to respond to old Commie apparatchik? Throw bouquets?

Sheesh....

And they also close down TV stations and newspapers that are not willing to "cooperate" with the government.

And they also shut down huge companies and inprison its owners - to take them over.

And they also restrain independence of judiciary.

Pure conservatism, indeed.
