The absolute majority of the Russian people do not mind if Putin will be their president again. His popularity is not faked, however Putin himself do not want to break our constitution and WON'T go for a third term.

This is not a question of constitutional loopholes. Term limits exist to prevent people from staying in power too long, thus decreasing the chances of a country to end up ruled by a dictator. So even if Putin does nothing unconstitutional, he most definitely breaks this principle and you're all going to regret it one day.

Bullsh!t. The constitution is very clear on presidential terms, but it doesn't force an ex-president from quiting politic completely. If Putin will be a head of the largest parliament fraction he breaks nothing.

I agree. Constitutionally, he's doing nothing wrong (not that I ever read the Russian Constitution ). But that's not what gets everybody so riled up. It's the fact that he remains in power beyond eight years, and probably will return to the Presidency when the opportunity shows itself. That's not healthy for Russia or any other country, even if it's Constitutional.

The Happy Putin should be a dance. Maybe involving something manly like the topless Putin fishing in a Siberian stream or pretending to shoot endangered Siberian Tigers or something.

The rest is irrelevant.

There are no tigers in Siberia. The only "big cats" we have here are lynxes. The endangered Tigers populate areas of the Russian Far East, not Siberia. That's why they called dalnevostochnye tigry - Far East tigers, not Siberian tigers.

As for the Happy Putin dance, you forgot that the guy is a master of martial arts (what could be more manly than martial arts?)

Is he an Internet Expert?

I don't know how about an expert, but probably he has some basic skills. Putin chats with population on a regular basis (Once a year there is an internet-conference when anyone can address their president directly via internet. Not to mention another Putin's tradition - once a year to answer questions of the citizens in air at major TV-chanells within 2-3 hours).

Of course, they screen the participants for blind loyalty beforehand.

I doubt you have ever seen any of Putin's Tv-shows or read his internet-conferences.

Sure have. They're a bunch of fawning fanboys draped in the tricolor. It's a pathetic spectacle.

[Serb]

Me thinks you saw them in your dreams.

btw, do you speak Russian?

[Impaler[WrG]]

I propose that Russia create a new position of supream athority, they could borrow the name of our Drug prevention program and call it the Czar

[Serb]

Sorta like a Danish Czars?
