Why do Russians love him?

Because he has unironically greatly improved the country

nigger you already discuss that why do you make an extra thread about it

>Why do Finns hate Russia unconditionally?
Where did you get that idea?
He's a moron relying too much into natural resources. Hasn't made any effort diversifying Russia's economy. All the profits go to his oligarch friends not improving the country
Next thing you'll say Chavez was a great leader since Venezuela's economy boomed as long as oil money poured in

>Russia went from 'gas station masquerading as a country' to dominating the news 24/7

Actually Russia went from 'gas station masquerading as a country' to 'gas station masquerading as a country' dominating the news 24/7.

He is still a massive improvement over Jeltzin. Also he is probably the best contender for this position right now.

Yeltsin has been out of power for twenty years and has been dead for like ten. He may have cleaned up the absolute hellscape that was 90s Russia but it doesn't explain why he has managed to maintain such overwhelming popularity among Russians, especially when the country is now on a decline again.

It not too expensive to dominate in news worldwide

Strong personality and tough foreign polics I guess. Prime minister Medvedev has poor approval ratings that are similar to Trump's

I don't want to imagine a world where he never took office.

>Russia is still very corrupt.
Not as much as it was during Eltsin or as modern Ukraine
>There are still dual-citizen Jewish oligarchs in Russia.
Sad, but this is modern world. Jewish oligarchs are everywhere, in Britain and US too.
>He keeps letting Israel kill Russia's allies in Syria.
What you can offer? Invade Israel?
>He lost 4500+ men in the war against Ukraine.
Where did you take those numbers? Anyway nobody, who vote Putin cares about Ukraine existing.

Tell me more please

>Russia is still very corrupt
stopped reading right there. you answered your own question, OP.

>So why do Russians love him so much?
Total control of state-run media.

Russians realize he's corrupt, so he makes sure the state media shows that everyone's corrupt (that's why he wanted Trump to win)
Thus, Russians don't care one way or the other, since any leader would be equally shit.

>why do Russians love him so much?

The best World Cup in FIFA's history.

Putin has more support than Trump though

>Total control of state-run media.
You must be very naïve if you think this works like this.

What? His approval ratings are dropping now.

Propaganda

"I only believe in statistics that I doctored myself"

>What you can offer? Invade Israel?
That would be entertaining and make the juden diaspora very butthurt.

>Propaganda
>The Kremlin-friendly WCIOM polls
Please think before you shill. Kek.

>why do Russians love him so much?

Rule #1: If the leader is getting praised by the West, watch out! Something is rotten here.

This was the case under Gorbachev's and Yeltsin's rule.

If the West keeps bashing your country, keep calm and be Russian.

The golden rule.
Dubs confirmed.

>The Kremlin-friendly WCIOM polls
Why would you trust it then?
According to them, Hillary should have won.

based and redpilled

People believe that all the positive changes of the last 20 years only happened thanks to him, while everything bad is a result of American/European/oligarchs' intrigues (as if Putin isn't an oligarch himself). I don't quite understand how it works. It's obvious why babushkas watching tv 24/7 trust him, but for some reason most people older than 30 think like that as well. It probably has something to do with what was happening in the 90s, idk.

During Putin's rule:

1)GDP PPP grew 3 times (nominal grew 7 times)
2)Life expectancy grew by ~7 years.
3)Number of murders fell around three times.
4)Number of suicided fell around three times.
5)Number of abortions fell around 3 times too.
6)Fertility increased from ~1.2 to ~1.7, death rates fell and population stabilized
7)In 2000 top 10% earned 34 times more than bottom 10%. Now it is around 14.
8)A lot of other stuff...
9)KRYM NASH

Now you see why Russia haters hate Putin?

It's actually impressive how Russia manages to consistently decrease their murder rate while Brazilian murder rates just keep rising. We're the guys with badass cops who shoot first and ask questions later, so what are we doing wrong?

...and then the oil prices plummeted and Russia fell into recession where it still is. You can't have a stable economy if its based on natural resources and he hasn't done shit about that. Even Saudi niggers are preparing for the time without oil

>...and then the oil prices plummeted and Russia fell into recession where it still is.
No, it stopped falling and started recovering. By the way, numbers above are taken after the crash, so not "and then".
>. You can't have a stable economy if its based on natural resources and he hasn't done shit about that. Even Saudi niggers are preparing for the time without oil
Saudis are much more dependent on oil. Also "you shouldn't use your valuables, they are cursed" is a logic which gypsy scammers use.

Putin is unironically fucking awesome

Putin has been shit when it comes to using the oil profits. This is my problem with him. You would have so much potential as a country. Tbh he's been a shitty leader.
Anyone could've recovered like that after 90s with the constant oil profits. It just amazes how people are ok with pouring tens of billions to stupid shit like olympics and the world cup. Not to mention the oligarchs and corrupted officials

pretty much /thread

this

>Russia is still very corrupt.
Thing are getting better.
>There are still dual-citizen Jewish oligarchs in Russia.
What did you expected from our businessmen?
Also, everything would be shit even if those oligarchs would be not jews, but, let's say, uzbeks, hawaiians or frisians. Just because they're oligarchs.
>He keeps letting Israel kill Russia's allies in Syria.
Because lives of people doesn't matter as much as the valuables that can be earned and kept.
>He lost 4500+ men in the war against Ukraine
Which war?
>So why do Russians love him so much?
Because it seems that the rest of our politicians are so mediocre and politically impotent that this bald asshole seems like a bretty gud fellow, though he isn't one.
>muh decent leader
Dude, history is created by the struggle for material values and not by sheer people's will. As long as elite's income is growing, nobody will change anything.
Based Pekka.

Russia may have large total value of resources, but since Russia has a lot of population, it is not that much per capita. Norway exports ~10 times more oil than Russia, even Venezuela did export more. Both of those countries had lower growth since 1999.

>but since Russia has a lot of population,
Which is also stretched along the country

But Russia is mostly exporting natural gas to the very wealthy European market.

Russia is a developing economy which should have a growth rate similar to India and China.
Russia's growth rate has been 1-2% which is way too low for a country like Russia. That's far from recovering

And the things are not getting better since the oil wells are running dry and it has to be extracted even more remote places which lowers the profits.
It looks pretty dark for Russia

Because they still remember Eltsin's years and he's the guy who saved them.

Russia has much larger urbanization rate than China or India, Russia is richer than China and much richer than India. Only past Russia can be compared with them.
>Russia's growth rate has been 1-2% which is way too low for a country like Russia. That's far from recovering
That's literally recovering, also the fall was several percents too. Due to current uneasy political/economical situation that's quite ok.

Gas exports bring not that much money compared to oil by the way. Oil is much more expensive.

>He keeps letting Israel kill Russia's allies in Syria.

That's because Roosian air defence systems are weak and shitty, and because Roosia is in the Middle East only to rise the bet in its negotiations with the USA, and not to go to the total war.

Nice arguments, holop. Now you can go sleep in my basement and eat the leftovers after my dogs.

Provided the oil and gas industry is state-owned.

Why are Finns so stubborn?

By the way, total oil exports are relatively small for Russia (compared to real oil-dependent countries). It was ~9% before happenings, now it's probably even less.

Happily Putin partially solved the problem too
>7)In 2000 top 10% earned 34 times more than bottom 10%. Now it is around 14.

True story

1-2% is stagnation and among the lowest growth rate in the world.
And the profits and tax revenue goes to oligarchs and corrupted officials way to go like in every other banana republic

Guess life expectation grew because oligarchs drink all oil and now they live millions of years, while nothing changed for average citizen.

>the profits and tax revenue goes to oligarchs
This was the case in the 90s. So you are correct. Putin changed this for good.

1. He's not Yeltsin.
2. State propaganda, particularly stuff to do with Chechnya.
3. Russians naturally love authoritarians.
4. Absence of alternatives (mostly due to Putin locking them up).

He just brought in his own friends. It has been getting better than in the 90s I can give you that, but it's still very much banana republic tier

There's a qt in my university who thinks that Putin is a legend and should be crowned. I think she would marry him, if she had the chance. She never heard of Jow Forums.

>1-2% is stagnation and among the lowest growth rate in the world.

Muh sanctions

How did poor Russians profit from higher oil prices?
Stop blubbering bullshit, Suomen

Daily reminder that Russia is a country where a sausage is protected by anti-theft system in shops and 80% of actresses in my favourite porn site legalporno.com doing triple anal with niggers ended with prolapse are from Russian Federation.

Now wait for a butthurt Ruskie to spend 20% of his country's pension fund on launching of few black ICBM dildos in the show of force to prove me wrong.

Attached: russian sausage.png (617x517, 540K)

That's the case in every country which are relying on oil like Azerbaijan, Saudi-arabia and Norway., low growth rate they've not been sanctioned
Sanctions are a joke anyway which has a small effect on the economy. It's just a good scapegoat for everyone

When Putin came to power in 1999, Russia was a destroyed shithole, and now it is semi-decent. If Putin was a leader of some initially decent country, he would have transformed it into paradise.

What's wrong?

It has been like this here in Brazil since these little things were invented. The special meat cuts for example like Picanha all have these things. Even chocolate bars and deodorant have these locked cases that only the cashier can unlock.

Russians don't love him when it comes to their internal politics and live in Russia in general. They only love the butthurt he causes in the west. Russians feel deeply offended by the lack of "respect" from the west so they just want a little revenge that's all.

No offence, but Brazil is a third world shithole. I learnt about it in theync.com

theync.com/woman-beheaded-5a6a5e29cbbb3.htm

>Sanctions are a joke anyway

Please keep them in place for the next 20 years.

He is right though. Oil was what, like 8 bucks a barrel during Yeltsin's time when they had a huge economic collapse and defaulted on the western loans etc?

Based and redpilled

They're just symbolic. Travel bans and shit like that people who spout about the sanctions doesn't even know what they're about.
I work a company which has a lot of dealings in Russia, literally nothing has changed due to them

i agree, most of the negative comments itt are from the butthurt belt or eternal anglos

>80% of actresses in my favourite porn site legalporno.com doing triple anal with niggers
They're really from all over the world these days.

Well the only purpose of medvedev is to look short so Putin could appear taller. He picked that klutz on purpose so people could feel the contrast and "realize" who the real leader is.

They're not negative. I'm ok with Putin there could be a total madman in charge. Russian foreign policy isn't too bad, and that's personally what I care about it.
I just feel bad for the Russians

There isn't a personality cult around him so I don't see the problem. From a Russian POV people like him because he is defiant towards the West. When Gorbachev dissolved the USSR it was on the premise that NATO would back off from the borders of Russia, the US lied and kept on pushing in 2004 Romania and the Baltic states joined and they even attempted to include Georgia and Ukraine.

But still 90% of them are from Russia and Czech Republic somehow, at least in legalporno.com. If Russia wasn't supplying young and fresh whores to such sites like First Anal Quest, i wouldn't have a decent stuff to jerk off to. All pretty looking and young sluts doing most nasty and humilating things are from Russia and they take averagely 500 dollar per video, which is less than minimum salary in Poland

pathetic

It did not stop some guys from getting insanely rich.

This guy made $3 mln a day while people were starving.

The West gave him standing ovation

>There isn't a personality cult around him so I don't see the problem
Lol

+15 rub

just cheat in your reports like the russians and problem solved. russia is the country of smoke and mirrors

putin isnt perfect, but I feel he did more good than harm for russia, and I respect that. In any case his current term will be focused on internal improvement so I'll reserve my full judgment until 2024

>They're just symbolic
No majority Rissian ownership for companies doing business in the US.

>I just feel bad for the Russians

Why are Finns so hypocritical?

your population is fucking poor not because there are too many of you but because putin and his oligarch pocket most of the wealth and steal from their own people. you are literally a banana republic when it comes to technologies. you borrow/buy/steal everything from the west or even china. your only source of wealth is oil. but that only makes your oligarchs rich.

Because I have some Russian friends

After medvedev it became worse tho
>Russia is still very corrupt.
>There are still dual-citizen Jewish oligarchs in Russia.
as long as people think it isn't it isn't
>He keeps letting Israel kill Russia's allies in Syria.
>He lost 4500+ men in the war against Ukraine.
they think it's a good thing, it's like the KILLEM meme

Prove me wrong or GTFO

>It did not stop some guys from getting insanely rich.
So what has changed? Just a different gang came to power.

Corruption is high but the biggest factor in keeping Russia poor is the public sector. Their budget is mostly spent on salaries rather than investment

prove what? that the west is not your enemy that wants to destroy you? you are just butthurt as a typical russian. there is no argument against that.

why did we expand nato to their borders? why did we pull out of the ABM treaty unilaterally? why are we continuing to foment color revolutions in russia and their neighboring countries?
