>Is Russian economy growing?

It has been consistently shrinking for a few years now.

Russian economy is still in the shitter

Brainwashing, same as here

Fear. They would die if they said anything bad about him. See reporter and opposition deaths in russia

Despite his flaws, he's unironically the best leader they've had in the last 100 years.

They're stupid and brainwashed

>Is Russian economy growing?

Stabilising, for now. It will growth again in a year or two, very slowly.

blood brothers

Literally what makes you think that? Their economy is crumbling

>Is Russian economy growing?
No, but inflation is

Propaganda and brainwash[spoiler]kinda and mostly unintended[/spoiler]

I wish. I doubt it will ever be at least completely stabilised

I don't think so. Average Russian is tough, he can't just be intimidated by government. They will say what they really think

honestly, I don't expect less from Russians. Their freedom of press is terrible.

Russia's macroeconomic position is stable. Of course, that could change if there's another oil shock.

>Inflation

Back under control.

Low expectations
Relatively high apathy towards corruption

Nobody mentioned those yet.

>Back under control.
Is it?

At a painful cost. But medicine to cure inflation is always bitter. The Russian Central Bank is surprisingly well-run.

Because they're not libcucks or armchair economists.
Average people has been living stable lives for many years and they're happy with that, especially after 90's. Plus the foreign policy makes him look like strong unyielding leader.
I mean everyone still realizes that things could be much better and that oligarchy fucks over lower classes, but when the biggest opposition proposes a fucking communism as a solution, all you can do is hope that Putin really does all he can for the country well being.

According to your press... how many countries is the US invading/bombing again?

>directly elected
>jailed 90s era oligarchs
>not invading 20 countries
>no global torture sites
>no global spy network
>no TPP
>cops not killing people in the streets
>economy grew like a 1000% in the last 10 years (highest in europe over the same period).
>yearly hourly long QnAs

But no, he's a bad man b/c our media/state reps say so.

Yes Putin would assasinate all of these girls if they said something negative about him

aren't we all?

I'm not sure Russians can criticize US bombings now that they themselves have started doing it in the Middle East.

Russian culture apparently favors the strength of the State first beyond all else
i mean, this is some deep sentiment man. from the rurikovich to the romanovs to the gommies to now

i can only guess its an effect of the geography-- they border a gorillion countries and pressure is apparent on many of those borders whether its the doing of the Russians themselves or not

>kills spies

ah yes very impressive

maybe a long history of very strong state helps?

wait

so opposition in Russia proposes a fucking COMMUNISM?

Because he has balls.
Because he is not weak like Obama and many other leaders.
Because he does not change his opinion based on the (weak, but loud) minority pushing self-serving agendas that are short-sighted and ultimate harm the nation in the long run.
Because he doesn't play games.
Because he is honest.

In a nutshell, we love Putin, despite his misgivings, because he is what a leader should be--not a political puppet nor a shill for the banking industry. This is why Russia, despite having lost the Cold War at the hands of your leader Reagan (whom we also respect deeply) has come back and is now one of the strongest nations militarily and economically. We are able to push others around when we want and your spineless leader Obama can do nothing.

What happened to you America?

So sad.

You are not even in the top ten economies anymore. You feel from #1 in military and #1 in economy. Now you have terrorists, live in fear, claim you are militarily strong (but you are not and wars are not fought on paper), and your economy has been in the toilet and going down increasingly on a global scale for a very long time now.

You abandoned your ideals.

Putin and Russia did not.

We won.

Even the Chinese, once very weak (your TV shows "Hop Sing" from Bonanza) now control your economy. How did that happen if not through you having lost your principles and become a nation controlled by the weak?

You shall never recover.

>You are not even in the top ten economies anymore
Wat? America has the strongest economy in the world

>You feel from #1 in military and #1 in economy. Now you have terrorists, live in fear, claim you are militarily strong

Wat
>your economy has been in the toilet and going down increasingly on a global scale for a very long time now

The s&p has been past 2,100 just before brexit. What the FUCK are you talking about?

>Putin and Russia did not.
>We won.
Literally losing in every social and economic aspect possible

I think this is copypasta from Sup Forums tho and i fell for it

I think they are just retards judging by the laugh.

Most economist measure economic growth by GDP. Russia's economy has grown by nearly a factor of 3 under Putin, and has steadily increased with only slight hiccups. In fact, there was no growth prior to Putin and it began only when he took office. One man, Putin, made a difference and he did so with POLICY change. No longer would the weak be supported by society. It's that simple.

In contrast, over the same period, the U.S. economy has decreased by a factor of 1.8. Again, leadership is to blame. Period. American people work harder than anyone on the planet, except the Japanese, and there is no reason they should not prosper.

Put simply, your leaders have failed you because the weak elected them and the weak got what they wanted--free handouts and policies that support a weak and decadent lifestyle with no morality and no principals and thus no pride.

Russians are proud of Putin.

Americans have become poorer and you have lost because you do not elect those who understand money and how to make it. Meanwhile, China is run by one machine and can overpower you decision-wise. Russia is the same. You cannot compete despite having the best resources on the planet and working the hardest--BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE WEAK LEADERS THROUGH YOUR WEAK MINORITIES.

Enjoy your ensuing poverty and know that you failed your children, who will be eaten by the rest of us and spit on.

uUmm, not him but you are obviously wrong
US used to have the strongest economy
he's right tho, we're not even in top ten now

What planet are you living on that you don't know China's economy has grown by like 20x in the past two decades? Are you trying to say America's hasn't fallen sharply by comparison in that same time?
Same with India, Brazil, Korea. Friggin people invest in Slovakia at 10x the rate they do in America right now. Just empty buildings from what I've seen. But granted I'm just a grad student here (Slovak) and have only seen Florida and Michigan but it looks bad.
Srsly?
