Путин в тройке самых влиятельных людей мира
Во новость, по рейтингу Форбес Путин оказался третьим в мире влиятельным человеком после американца Обамы и китайца Ху Цзиньтао. Напомню, что Путина в уже признавали человеком года в журнале "Тайм", чем крепко обидели американцев.
Так что это - дань моде или успешная внешняя политика Путина?
И нет ли здесь косвенного признания, что должность президента в России девальвировалась?
p.s. Никто не слышал, есть такой человек в Кремле Д.А. Медведев, чем он занимается?

I don't know the US view, but most people in the UK do not consider Time magazine politically serious. Reading "Time" is mostly just about the pictures and getting a summary of some event/situation that you don't know much about... You'd need to know what criteria they used to reach their conclusion - are they explaining that? "The Economist" and "The Statesman" are two serious political magazines - the latter is quite pro US.
The view on the leadership situation in Russia, from the Western perspective is 100% as follows: Putin wanted to stay on in power in 2008, but couldn't credibly do it because it was against Russia's constitution. Therefore he put "his own man" (Medvedev) in place to "fill the seat" while he waits to be re-elected in 2012. In the meantime, Medvedev has changed the constitution to allow for longer presidential terms, so that Putin will be able to serve as president from 2012 until his retirement. Before Putin was appointed prime minister, I doubt anybody outside Russia was even aware that the role existed. Personally I did not know about it.
I guess the view of Time magazine is probably: Quote:
Medvedev controls almost half of the world's nuclear weapons, one of the largest armies and a very large chunk of the worlds energy resources. Putin controls Medvedev, ERGO Putin is the third most powerful man...

I don't know much about Forbes.. I have hardly ever read it.
It's big on "lists" Ie. "100 best universities in the world", "Richest people in America", "Best run companies...." etc. I've only read such articles in Forbes. Never any political piece per se. Forbes is about money and being rich and successful.
I once worked for one of the "Top 10 companies to work for" (according to Forbes) But according to me, it was rubbish to work for...
But I think Forbes is very INFLUENTIAL in the US at least.
So it doesn't matter much whether it's good... If they say something, A LOT of people read it and believe it...
EDIT: I did know about the prime minister role in Russia actually, but I had forgotten. Last I heard of it was when Gorbachev had the role in the 1990s. Then nothing, until now when Putin is in the role.

Рейтинг про влияние президентов? Там и Осама присутствует. У Путина поддержка населения и министерская власть, а значит - реальное влияние.

President is the highest ranked person an Russia. However, Forbes reports that Putin is the 3d influential person in the world, which could mean that Putin is superior, though Putin isn't President now. During Putin's governing Prime-minister was not a key position, rather nominal.

Вроде нестарый еще человек, а подготовка к похоронам уже ведется. Мемориальные доски всякие, скоро памятники с мавзолеями, небось, сооружаться начнут. Или он по жизни древний ебиптянин?

I don't understand what you are talking about.... :unknown:
Sounds like you are talking about how much you love and respect (haha) Putin and look forward to his return as president in 2012....Or?
:yahoo: :cry:
It made me think about when I went to Helsinki for a week a a few years ago and there was a techno song about Putin that was everywhere. I heard it both on the ferry over and in a club in Helsinki. Probably somewhere else too. The song was something like "I have a crush on Putin, he's better than all other guys..." Totally forgotten the title but it was very catchy and very cheesy.
Because I had been in England already for a few years, I was totally out of tune with what had been happening in Northern Europe... I was pretty surprised. I was like "Wait, isn't Putin the president of Russia? Are they crazy? What's going on?" Some girls (Russian, I guess) went absolutely wild on the dance floor when that song came on.
My Finnish friends thought the song was relatively serious and most people in Russia liked Putin.

Это нечто уже вроде тут на форуме упоминалось, но всё равно по теме:

Автор книжки однозначно сбежал из Кащенки. Нет, серьёзно, как экспонат выставки "Творчество душевнобольных" эта книжица заслуживает первого приза, но как чтение для детей... это пи###ц! :shock:
