"a one-time KGB officer"
And? Bush Sr. was the chief of the CIA. How is that different?
Prior his career in the KGB ranks, Putin graduated from the International Law branch of the Law Department of the Leningrad State University in 1975, writing his final thesis on international law. His PhD thesis was titled "The Strategic Planning of Regional Resources Under the Formation of Market Relations". He's nobody's fool, and much smarter than Obama.
Russia is much better off under Putin, than it was during the Soviet Union time

Putin has been a government employee all his life and he became a billionaire by looting his own country.

Russia is better off because Fascism is superior to communism as an economic system. It hasn't much to do with Pootie-Poot.
