Farhad2000says...This doesn't make me happy at all, with the shocked economy recover and massive corruption that was created post USSR collapse has lead to chaos and disillusionment in society. Russians don't want democracy now, they want stability, and Mr KGB Putin is too glad to drag to country back to state control. He is supporting the despotic goverment of Uzbekistan with arms and resources in exchange to access to natural gas supplies.
MINKsays...The corruption was there long before the collapse of the Soviet Union. The same people are still in power all over the ex Soviet Union.
The corruption is also in the West.
It is true that many Russian people support Putin on the basis that "things are a mess so we need a strong leader". Kinda like the situation in the USA.
It is also true that Putin's policies don't seem to be working, kinda like the situation in the USA.
Supporting despots to get natural resources? LOL. You see where I am going with this.
