I have some questions!

Ok, I understand that lots of people don't like Putin and that the massive victory of his party in the last local elections was rather suspicious...


  • My impression of why people on this forum don't like Putin is mainly because he is financially involved with lots of elite people / oligarchs and that he does not allow large manifestations by his opponents. Is this right?


  • Are there any other clear & specific reasons why you don't like Putin - can you explain what they are?


  • Or maybe some people here actually think Putin is more or less good for Russia and don't mind if Edinaya Rossia wins again?


  • There ARE large groups of people who really like Putin though... who are they? Why do they like him?


  • Is liking Medvedev as a president synonymous with liking Putin, or is there a difference between the two... ?


  • If anyone dares being bold and frank, explain which party you would like to see win the next election in Russia, and why, then I'd love to hear it! Russian politics is really interesting and I have no preconcieved opinions.
