Since the Russians on this board can safely voice their opinion here...what is the deal with Vladimir Putin? Is he really as loved as some reports claim or is this just another facet of his extensive propaganda?
Because obviously he has a cult of personality with all the manly photos and silly events like professional Ice Hockey teams letting him score a bunch of goals and shit like that. But obvious shit like that aside, is he loved for his work for Russia or do you guys see him as a tyrant? Is he demonized by democrats in the west simply because he's anti-LGBT?
> is he loved for his work for Russia or do you guys see him as a tyrant? First.
> Is he demonized by democrats in the west simply because he's anti-LGBT? Exactly. And another things.
Jack Watson
Also curious to see how Russkies view Putin. Why do the news here want us to hate him?
Jack Jenkins
Everyone has different opinions, dude. Personally, I think it's a great man, and at the same time, he is a tyrant.
Justin Moore
I don't know, really. You say.
David Young
I can safely voice my opinions wherever I want. Unlike in a shithole where you get fired, robbed, beaten or choked on the street for wearing a fucking cap.
Connor Myers
He's corrupt. Everyone in russian government is. But alternatives are a lot worse.
He's not as good as you see him, but he's the best we've currently got unfortunately. Most people like him for making Russia tolerable again, so they support him.
Henry Myers
He's gay as fuck.
Isaiah Thomas
You, stupid bitch, stop creating 10 threads per each day about our god-emperor!
Wyatt Nguyen
Is it true he destroyed the russian mob?
Ethan Torres
>Is it true he destroyed the russian mob? No. They just moved on to economic crimes instead of racketeering
Connor Mitchell
He's a great leader because he reanimated military from "gaylord conscript army" to "RUSSIA STRONK" within 10 years. All that insane projects like Yamantau mountain, "Dead Hand" or "Status-6".
But liberals are buttmad because he banned some gay bullshit and cutt off their gibmedats, so now they can't have their iPhones n shit.
Nicholas Sanders
>Yamantau mountain What happens here?
Noah Ramirez
>But alternatives are a lot worse Isn't this because he purged all alternatives that were better?
Colton Phillips
>better not really. All alternatives are either greedy Oligarchs or (((them))) in bed with their Western (((cousins)))
Nolan Allen
Sorta. Gangs don't have open wars in broad daylight like in 90s anymore. They have legalized themselves and became respected businessmen.
There never were any better alternatives.
Cooper Jackson
>all alternatives that were better? keked
Tyler Cook
>he's anti-LGBT? >I assure you that I work with these people, I sometimes award them with state prizes or decorations for their achievements in various fields.
Camden White
putin a shit. only shitskins like him here.
Jonathan Moore
Glorious Soviet Russia not so bad comrades. We ride horse with friend.
Bentley Perez
Yes alot of people likes him, especially the old ones. But he corrupt as fuck and have this mafia-alike party who ruling the country and taking enormous amount of monet from the russian budget.
Josiah Davis
>Russians on this board can safely voice their opinion here >internet is overflooded with russian paid bots >biggest russian imageboard was just bought out by russia's wealthiest man who made his billions thx to putin >russian Sup Forums turned into a shithole filled with bots praising putin overnight >implying they are not in this thread right now Top kek. Brace for "honest" opinions.
Camden Phillips
> is he loved for his work for Russia or do you guys see him as a tyrant
Seriously depends on who you are talking with. 86% of population loves him. Personally, I appreciate what He did in his first two reign periods. Those were harm times. But he should have gone after that.
Matthew Lopez
Tell me more, pidorashka. Mind telling me a story of picrelated?
Charles Brown
sounds like our "leaders"
Alexander Clark
is he even anti-LGBT or is it like trump that ppl just assume it?
100 years from now, Putin will be remembered as one of the greatest leaders of the modern era while people when will hear the name Obama they will say "what is that?"
Juan Lee
Majority of the pupulation is anti-gay to the level that they will beat fags openly in the streets. So I assume Putin is anti-LGBT too.
Gavin Stewart
wow you made look at dick when it wasn't even going in pussy. :(
Liam Morris
Biggest problem is that he made himself indispensable. Whether it be government pressing towards potential candidates or lack of proper candidates by itself, if Putin suddenly dies, we are in for quite major problems. He straightened the country after disastrous drunkcuck ruling times, fucked up several most annoying oligarchs, but at the same time he put his own oligarchs in place.
The fact that you say: "can safely voice their opinion" is a result of good old indoctrination they are not fucking North Korea
Carter Rivera
It turned the country from the bitch of the West on krokodil into a global powerhouse.
Also, he pacified the Chechens to the level that they are now Russian shock troops. Raised the standard of living considerably (for Russian standards, but again better) Stood up to the liberaloglobalism. Put Georgia under check. Returned Crimea. Nosuchthing'd hohols. Defending their ally and doing a great thing for the world in Syria.
In general, he returned dignity to Russia. Why wouldn't the people like him?
Eli Kelly
who are the qts?
Lincoln Robinson
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Someone answer me!
Isaiah Robinson
> Also, he pacified the Chechens to the level that they are now Russian shock troops.
Only problem we suck their dick now.
> Raised the standard of living considerably (for Russian standards, but again better)
After 2008 it's falling year by year
>Returned Crimea.
And let entire ukraine flee
> Defending their ally and doing a great thing for the world in Syria.
Just after entire country ruined
Jayden Lewis
Some dude who had his house swatted and who got jail time for reposting some shit in russian facebook.
Tyler Bell
No one know exactly. Apparently biggest russian Nuclear-degree bunker ever made. Seems like a doomsday-case base.
Brody Allen
why do you care so much about putin when there is yummy natalia
Jaxon Rodriguez
> some shit
Oh yeah, openly call for North-West region to exit Russian Federation. Let me guess what Ukrainian TARAS will get if he said that Kharkov is a russian city?
Matthew Cruz
Because she is a meme for pathetic shut-ins that cling to 8/10s over the internet, and Putin is one of the most important people on the planet.
Joshua Clark
rude
Elijah Gray
you are either genuinely russian or genuinely retarded.
>but in Ukraine Well, maybe blind pidorashka could check the post chain and realize that I wasn't the one who claimed that "I can safely voice my opinions wherever I want".
Dominic Jenkins
What are the alternatives to putin?
Jason Perez
> oink
Jack Reyes
My grandparents prefer the communist party since the average pension hasn't risen much in a long time. More and more state assets are privatised and thus the poorer people have a worse quality of life.
Thomas Moore
>t. non country
Nathaniel Green
(((ngo)) funded shills Communists
Brayden Fisher
Not belgian, Tyrone.
Also, Sup Forums falling for the russian shilling is beyond pathetic. Less so for a 60%, but western europol is literally celebrating a loss of influence.
Nathaniel Evans
Same here. They tell us over and over to hate Russia.
Jeremiah James
Topkek Ahmed. Just fuck off from whichever dying shithole you come from
John Nelson
Noone knows, but they secretly building something inside for 20 years already. There's 3 closed cities for 60.000 workers on that building site.
Anthony Gutierrez
>Is he really as loved as some reports claim Yes, he is >his extensive propaganda We have that too.
He is loved in Russia that not an exageration his true rating varies between 65-89%. I don't think he's very much anti LGBT either, I guess he doesn't care about that, we have one clown here (Milonov) who actually invents all those laws.
Tyler Ortiz
>t. artificial country
Liam Richardson
You're like the only marginal ally they have in Europe that isn't a shit country though.
Marginal being the key word here, you're not butt buddies but your relationship isn't exactly frigid.
Gavin Myers
Kek. Get mutilated Jose. Also pay for wall
Jordan Mitchell
>Is he really as loved as some reports claim or is this just another facet of his extensive propaganda? There are plenty critics and individual criticism leveled at him, but he is generally seen as a good guy, who either stayed in office for too long or did the right thing depending on who you ask.
>Because obviously he has a cult of personality with all the manly photos and silly events like professional Ice Hockey teams letting him score a bunch of goals and shit like that Putin has bigger CoP outside of russia than in russia. Yeah, I know, but it's true. We are quite apathetic folk.
>Is he demonized by democrats in the west simply because he's anti-LGBT? He/we are mostly demonised because a)Anti-globalism. Essencially refusing to kiss american ring. I have nothing against americans and wish only the best in future relations, but russia wants to be treated if not as equal, than as a major power whose interests are not to be ignored. b)Red scare flashbacks and/or propaganda usefulness c)Genuine conflict of both interests and values on many issues caused by differences in culture and many other aspects of society.
Zachary Rodriguez
Please be a flaming faggot elsewhere.
Joshua Hernandez
Wrong again Pedro.
Robert Thompson
The lugenpresse fear Putin because he knows how to deal with them
Jose Wood
>who either stayed in office for too long or did the right thing depending on who you ask. He's there to stay for an other 8 or 10 years iirc, those who think he has been here for too long better get used to it
Cooper Perez
>wrong Nice try Ahmed
Jacob Thomas
Anons when are you going on an expedition to the area to post pics on Sup Forums?
Liam Cruz
> expedition to the area
I don't wanna suddenly became silent. If you know what I mean.
Benjamin Morales
Nah Im sure they'll just tell you to fuck off if you're just hiking in the area and dont get too close to any of the secret sites. I imagine they'd have a fence or warning signs saying where you're not allowed to go
Jason Carter
That's one part where Russian security perimeters are different from american. You DO NOT fuck with them.
You might get off with a slap on the wrist. Or you might fall through the earth never to be seen again.
The amount of totalitarian oppression of opposition is largely overstated by western media. But you really don't want to gamble with security perimeters, they don't have disclaimers of policy, only of borders. And given that we can afford to cordon off everything within a kilometre or two of this or any site, suffice it to say that only way you will picture anything interesting is if you breach perimeter, otherwise you might as well go for a hike with a camera in any random forest.
