Putin is a part of the biggest mafia in Russia - KGB.
no wonder why he got so big public approval, IF HUGE %% of Russian population either was in prison system (Gulags, prisons), either know someone who was in prison (family, friends) or was just in army in combat (afghanistan for example). "tough guy" for "tough people"....
a guy that pretends to be "strong", guy that has PR as a tough sportsman who will "do the order" with all corruption and all Jewish oligarchs
got so much popularity among uneducated and not rich Russians...its rather long story, too many to say about this guy and his chronies....you also cant deny that he somehow "returned dignity" to Russian sense of importance, after the disastour years of 90s, when US President was patting back of always drunk Yelstin
another good one example of that returned sense of dignity is user Sarn here on this forum, that feels so proud that he even dont care to speak proper English while posting on English forum
I love Sopranos. Best TV series IMO. Chrissy was stealing DVD players and stuff like that in first two series, later he was made a made man...They were doing serious business like real estate, construction, also some H pushing that later got one of them caught and rat on others (Big Pussy). Sopranos is great show mostly to few actors and great scenario - James Gandolfini is one of them.
I watched some of the episodes of the russian show that you posted and its also OK. Much less psychology than in Sopranos and more down to earth on russian soil ;-)
I prefer Sopranos though as I like psychology in the cinema. If I want to watch pure excellent action, I fire up "Ronin" movie from 1998....
the guys on photo with Putin look like Russian Armenians, Georgians or Jews..no idea who they are though
case #144128 ? wtf is that ? its nothing compared to what he does now...and since he became president
its like stealing peanuts to stealing cars and land

P.S. He has even been under the investigation, but his criminal case (Google for case #144128) was closed when he has became a president of Russia...
Go figure who are the guys on this picture. The Sopranos were little kids and misery losers in comparison the Russian brigades... |
