From the sheer incompetence and calamity of the Yeltsin years, the rape and stealing of Russian wealth by oligarchs, Putin is really a welcome change for Russia. He has put Russia on the world map again, created a solid economy with improved standards of living, also tackled the oligarchs by seizing control of some of Russia’s valuable assets back from them which in turn meant investment and inflow of funds to Russian economy. Its not suprising Putin is a very popular leader and with high approval ratings among Russians.

Putin is no Jefferson or Washington, the fact that he is enforcing fascism is not a good thing.
