[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7957916, member: 8735"] No. He just 'taxed' them, for national and personal enrichment. As for his being a saviour... you are entirely wrong. Of course there are some on the Russian Alt-right (and left) who like him, but not '[I]Ordinary[/I]' Russians. Just take a few facts into consideration... The Russian economy has tanked for the last eight years, just gone down as the cost of living has gone up. Polls in Russia consistently give a 50%+ result saying Russians want to emigrate - and a majority of those (but not all) to the US. They also tell us that they don't rust the police, the Courts, politicians of the general news-media. They've seen it all before... Russians watched ever larger amounts of their money spent on 'defence' during the Cold War, and it didn't work. Look at Russian infrastructure, the rail and road systems are knackered, so are the health and education services, all the money that should have been spent on them - and was promised - has gone on the military and 'security'... You surely can't be daft enough to think that the average 'ordinary' Russian is stupid enough to openly criticise his dictator, can you? They've seen what happens when you do that; don't construe lack of criticism for approval. No, Vlad's ruined their economy and the people know it, they just can't do anything about it, yet. [/QUOTE]
