Sorry but this sounds like a total B/S. Saying "I have a few friends from Russia" and "Most Russians have" is something like "I saw Bush Jr. on TV and spoke to a few morons on GFY, so I know that most of Americans are idiots". Sounds pretty stupid isn't it?
I'm Russian and
I DO NOT LIKE PUTIN, but I also think there were no other candidatures for a president's chair since 1991 (even the first Russian persistent Boris Yeltsin was a pure shame for my country). I know people who loves Putin and who hates him. So what?
Russia is not the USSR anymore and everyone has his/her own right to think what he/she want. However I can assure you, even in the USSR is wasn't really different. Everyone was joking on old and useless Brezhnev and the Communist Party in whole. In fact Soviet people just pretend. They pretended that they love Brezhnev, they pretended that they love Communist Party, they pretended that there is no corruption/prostitution/gambling/porn/organized crime in Soviet Union, they pretended that they are working etc. This is why the Soviet Union has collapsed in 1991. Those who think that Soviet Union was defeated by the United States are idiots because
this is nothing than just a myth.
