LOL! The Western media doesn't have to 'oppose' him as Putin is destroying Russia on his own. The decay is being done, it's just of a different type. Putin doesn't care about ethnic Russians as he only cares about his own power and image. One example is the declining birth rate which he has done nothing about. He's all talk and his Government depends on oil and military sales to maintain the economy. That's your 'modern state' if you will that you can talk about in the other thread. Of course, you think what you learn 'academically' by the State is the full story. I have talked to Russians (NOT HERE, of course) who know the truth as well.

This is an elaborate topic, however, and I have already read here of too many parrots saying the same thing you are.

So this is oppose it is. Any ways and methods to discredit Putin in the eyes of people. In the eyes of the Russian people best of all. You used unreliable sources.
And more: why U.S. and British press silent on the presidency of Gorbachev and Yeltsin? And at that time it was much (!) worse. ...Because they (american politics) liked it. So why you think that de facto (from political situation) russians unworthy of a good and happy life? And in the future just life at all.

Madeleine Albright: “Siberia is too large and rich to belong to one country.”
Margaret Thatcher: “The Russians should remain around 15 million, the minimum amount sufficient to enable that to obtain raw materials, and maintain gas and oil pipelines.”
Adolf Hitler: “The Slavs are to work for us. Insofar as we do not need them, they may die. Therefore, compulsory vaccination and German health service are superfluous. The fertility of the Slavs is undesirable. They may use contraceptives or practice abortion, the more the better. Education is dangerous. It is enough if they can count up to one hundred. At best an education which produces useful coolies for us is admissible. Every educated person is a future enemy.”
