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.
Did they have a choice?
Putin is laughing all the way & the world is speechless
A true leader and ohev yisroel may he succeed along with our great president
He is probably as good a leader as Russia could possibly have. So, no problem with him continuing to be in power.
#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.
