Actually, i take it back, Boris Nemtsov was so unpopular that he wasn't useful even as a martyr, let alone an opposition leader. It's really surprising that a well-known political figure can discredit himself so much that he become completely useless in any role.
Whoever ordered to kill him, did it for no gain at all.Knowledge is Power

Originally posted by Dinner View PostIsn't it funny how Putin declared himself the champion of family values, attacking gay people saying they had no place in Russian life, but then went and had multiple affairs and divorced his wife? Now, that is the kind of leadership I expect out of a fascist-nationalist dictator with absolute power and no moral compass.
I mean, let's see, Gorbachev destroyed USSR. Yeltsin almost destroyed Russia. Both were praised by the West, more or less, right? Putin restores Russia back (economy, industry, military, diplomatic power), not exactly to what it was of course, but to some extent, and he's an incarnate of Satan on Earth (for the West). How possibly it can have any sense for Russians? I understand why it is so for Westerners - for you, weak Russia or no Russia at all is the best, so you praise Gorbachev and Yeltsin and demonize Putin. But it's your own internal propaganda, it makes absolutely no sense to tell it to Russians, to use internal propaganda as a Russian propaganda. Why do you try to tell it to Russians anyway?Knowledge is Power

It is nothing bad if Putin increases the economic powers of russia maybe beyond the values it had before glasnost/perestroika.
It isn´t bad as long as russia doesn´t enlarge its own territory at the cost of its neighbors.
Russia was seen as trading partner in europe ... france was even willing to sell you helicoptger carriers ... i.e. military technology ... unthinkable during the cold war.
Putin destroyed this all, when he grabbed Crimea and had his agents manufacture and support the uprising in donbass
I hear btw., that human rights have decreased in crimea since russia took power ... especially for the crimea tartars and broadcasters suspected of not being pro PutinTamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

What was first: foreign intervention to Ukraine in form of illegal coup, which resulted in Crimea breaking apart from Ukraine and the civil war of new Kiev's western puppets vs. the Eastern Ukraine or the other way around?
If there was no Maidan, today Crimea was still part of Ukraine and no civil war at Donbass. Period.
How it's a Putin's fault that you have destabilized Ukraine in the first place?

I think you forgot to give Nobel Prize in Literature to Joseph Goebbels, and a Nobel Peace Prize to Adolf Hitler. That will be in line with your previous awards.Graffiti in a public toilet
