Why call me a troll? That is mean. I have read several articles about what Putin does and who he surrounds himself with. Also, based on previous history of when an economy collapses and how opportunists benefit at the expense of the people. Are you brainwashed? Are you brainwashed into thinking political leaders are good people? Your heroes are Obama, Bush, Blair, Cameron, Putin, Merkel et al? Sad.

Throughout history, these leaders have benefited with certain people and groups and the people have been brainwashed into support because of ignorance and desperation.

I cannot fathom why you have so much faith in Putin.

I know you despise Gorbachev but even he is saying Putin's 'democracy' is a sham.

I am not going by this as it won't be accepted but other articles and info I have read convinces me. But, it is a basic fact how these Governments deceive the people. Hopefully, Russians can realize before their country is destroyed like others.

Because Lampada is so quick to accuse me of trolling and 'name-calling' (maybe look up word, 'traitor'), I doubt my articles can be allowed.

Too bad there's no freedom here either. Maybe financed by friends of United Russia and friends.
