The Russians had a revolution as they did not like their royal family and associated families controlling all the wealth in Russia and getting them into a war where they were losing troops at an alarming rate, and finding out their military was not as good as they thought.
Putin, with his oligarchs, controlling all the wealth in Russia and getting them into a war, well you can work out the rest.
Then you look at the secret police in Russia, Okhrana, Cheka, NKVD, KGB (Putin joined), SVR, GRU, FSB.
Since say 1880 to now, the number of Russians murdered by the state is staggering, it’s a country whose population have never really been free, nor had even a minimal amount of free speech. The number of Oligarchs and senior figures in media, manufacturing, politics etc that have accidents such as falling out of hospital windows, or down the stairs, or other windows, is crazy, what are the chances lol.
People that back Russia, back all those murders, all those deaths and accidents, those supporting Putin are giving him the green light to keep on murdering his own people, either through various accidents, deaths in Siberia, or using them as cannon fodder.
If a country is fully prepared to murder its own people at such a huge scale, just think what they are prepared to do for others who are not Russian (and I mean Russia not it’s associated republics or outlying areas). Have a Google of Russell Bentley a US mercenary fighting for Russia.
Putin would if he could use nukes in Ukraine, as he does not value anyone there, as with Mariupol, he will deport all local citizens and populate with Russians, that is a standard Russian process, look at the Baltic states, at Poland, at Finland and other areas around Russia.
I have access to lots of unbiased journalism, so I'm not brainwashed by western corporate propaganda that makes him out to be a brutal dictator and aggressive imperialist. Those characterizations are joke in light of the west's own aggressive imperialism and its increasing authoritarianism over its own citizens.
- I think he is very intelligent.
- He's the greatest statesman alive today.
- He want's peace and prosperity for Russia and its citizens, which is something that can't be said for our own leaders.
- He is not an imperialist like the U. S. and Israel. How would Russia benefit from invading, destroying and colonizing other countries? It just wants trading partners.
- He's a hero for defending Syria, pledging support for Iran against the U. S. and Israel, defending the people of Crimea and Donbas against Ukrainian Nazi aggression, offering assistance to other countries who are under the yoke of western sanctions, and continually working for peace through the UN and other diplomatic channels.
- The vast majority of Russians love him and many people around the world are grateful to him.
- He is essential in keeping the ravenous U. S. from being the sole (out of control) global superpower.
Now wait for the brainwashed herds to chime in with parrotted attacks and brainless accusations against me. (Note: Nowhere did I say I loved Putin or thought he was flawless. These are the same people who support Nazism in Ukraine and the holocaust against Palestinians by Israel.)
a charismatic leader. but spiteful and quarrelsome I think he is bossy and loves attention.
I want to vomit on everyone who thinks he is a hero.

Since 2014 when Russia invaded the Crimean Peninsula, I've had this song in my head (to the tune of "There's no business like show business."):
There's no disputin'
I'm Vladimir Putin.
I'm Vladimir Putin.
I am!
Everybody thinks that I'm quite insane
Just because I invaded the Ukraine
Even though they're Russians just the same.
I'm Vladimir Putin.
I am!
I used to respect him for the reasons you listed in number 1, but I lost respect for him after he told Russians to stop being mean to Muslims because he doesn't want any terror attacks in Russia, and his fear of having NATO on his doorstep made me think he's an insecure coward and the tough guy persona is just an act. Even Macron, who is one of the most Liberal politicians in the West doesn't take shit from Muslims. At this point, I respect Macron more than I do Putin.
He's a piece of shit dictator who steals from his own people and kills off his rivals and detractors. Sometimes they disappear into jails in Siberia; sometimes their planes just fall out of the sky. Why do you think he's Trump's man crush and bromance?
He has the patience of a saint and then some for putting up with the endless Russophobic slander. If not for him, Russia would probably be a US territory by now.
A Bear is spotted in US airspace, blame Russia. A B52 is spotted in Russian airspace, blame Russia. 🙄
He's a murderous dictator who carefully fosters an image of being a public benefactor while stealing from his country to feather his own nest and ruthlessly eliminating anyone who dares to question his authority.
Was that sentence too long? I feel like it was.
he's a hero! he wants peace, wants to end the LGBTQ cult and stop the use of GMOs. but unfotunately the left doesn't see that from a good point of view and are trying their hardest to make him look like the bad guy
He"s definitely an evil dictator that cares nothing about human life forever his own people as well the lives of others. He's not much different then Hitler was. May God strike him down
He is a tyrant that has no problem making somebody "go away". Biden and the democrats are using his example to make their political opponents "go away"
He's not a good person but he's highly intelligent
a very cold hearted barbarian. but both options in poll are true.
He’s one of the coolest kids in the middle school
He's the one Trump fangirls over when He's not falling in love with Kim jong-un.
I wish he'd drop dead already.
Pretty obvious he’s a dictator.
Very dangerous
Option a and he have a lot of other good traits!
A man of character can't go wrong
He's a tyrant.
Ukraine belongs to Russia.
Couldn’t care less about him.
