    Putin, speaking from a stage just off Moscow’s Red Square in front of a cheering audience, said the election result was a recognition of what had been achieved in the past few years, despite difficult conditions.

    Before leaving the stage to applause, he led the crowd in a chant of “Russia, Russia!”

    Putin won a landslide re-election victory on Sunday, extending his rule over the world’s largest country for another six years at a time when his ties with the West are on a hostile trajectory.

    #3, how so? Russia had a chance to be a rich, happy parliamentary democracy. Instead Putin has created a backwards, poor kleptocracy.

    Putin unlike the Kenyan has the interests of Russian, Russians and Slavic people in mind, a resurgent Russian is good.
