Putin is already nationalizing the private sector, considering an unconstitutional third term, making alliances with Communist China as well as continuing to arm Syria and Iran. He also was involved with supporting Hussein. Religion is just a vehicle for him to subdue any possible domestic problems. And your extreme language in response to others who may have another thought than yours is unnecessary.

No, Putin is not nationalizing the private sector. Indeed, I have seen such rapied growth in the private sector 7% the last few years I invested in a mutual fund which targets Russia, and it has been well worth it. Second, Putin has denied he is seeking a third term, but if the constitution is changed then it would hardly be unconstitutional. BTW, the last I heard Putin's last favorability rating is over 80%. I think you should learn what you are talking about before responding.
