A Good view about what makes a good nation leader ====================================== Being a born and bred Russian old enough to remember Soviet times, disaster of perestroika and chaos of 90s first hand I can assure you that Putin IMHo deserved his ratings 150%. He already will be in Russian history as one of the best rulers country ever had. A man managed to pull a starving country which was falling apart together, fill the bellies to the best standard in 40 year and literally put a new life in dead and decomposing body. Living standard in his 16 years changed for the best uncompartible with the past. I seen a new schools, municipal sports facilities, new cars everywhere, new infrastructure, whole country more look like a giant building site. I still remember 90s when unemployment was like in Zimbabwe and even those lucky to have a job was not paid meagre wages for 6-8 month, when pensioners was dying from starvation right in Moscow and soldiers was begging a piece of bread by traffic lights while Kremlin was occupied by perpetually drunk president and government was run by american advisers. Add a civil war, drop in GDP worse than even in second world war, financial default and hyperinflation, moral decline and crazy crime explosion to rival South Africa and separatism in every village. Come unknown to anyone Putin. Look 16 years on on his achievements. And that against fierce political opposition and active sabotage by oligarchy and their watchers from West. He is not perfect and made a lot of mistakes but admits it. His main problem as far as majority of population concern is being too soft on robber barons, and reluctance to take too much risks. But one thing i'm sure: He loves his country and his people. If he just wanted to fill up a Swiss bank account he did not needed to do anything of his actions, neither he needed to turn into untouchable bad boy. Both Gorbachev and Eltsin hated and despised by majority of russiams and much loved by the West. Now figure why. http://ift.tt/1JYbpKL
