					<description>"When Putin left the Kremlin, he took the pen with him."

so does Sarko, but compared with Putin, that hasn't the same symbol, while Putin perenises his inthronisment as Russia personification, Sarko just makes a non elegant gesture... ah those Frenchs, bandit, voyou, chenapan...

uh, the new president isn't bad looking</description>

					<description>Medvedev is Putin's stooge. If I were Medvedev, I would feel extremely uncomfortable having my old boss around as Prime Minister, when you know all he is doing is using you as a prop until he can become President again. What good is it being President in name only? He should immediately fire Putin (never should have hired him), and purge out all of his old cronies and replace them with people he can trust.</description>

					<description>Old Sailor

I am afraid, he can't because since his beginnings with Putin, he is his groom (or porte-valise we say here)

The boss had decided that he would be no longer the president of the firm
, and chose one of his fidel employees to represent him ; though the boss still stays in tn the concil of surveyance and can replace him any moment

Russia is not ruled as a political entity but more as a firm and it belongs to DA da da daddy</description>

					<description>A dictatorship (feebly) disguised as a democracy. Makes me appreciate our system. Even with it's imperfections, we are far better off than most.</description>

					<description>jeff

it's a bit exagerated, Putin has the favor of a large majority of Russians, they ow him not to starve anymore, big cities are real occidental cities where you can do whatever you want, he just keeps an eye to the opposition that is too radical, and as a tumor he eradicates it

no comparaison with the south america dictature, african even Egypt

so, if the people there are happy, let them enjoy the joynesses of the capitalism</description>

					<description>I'm surprised that Jeff was the only one to notice the obvious. Putin has no intention of leaving power and he will use every excuse to gain FULL Control. Mark my words this man is a dictator, and he will REGAIN FULL CONTROL even if that means using a deliberate assignation. :gun:   

Gog = Putin</description>

..."he just keeps an eye to the opposition that is too radical, and as a tumor he eradicates it"

Yeah, but doesn't your statement qualify it as a dictatorship? A true democracy allows for opposition, even the radical type. They may keep an eye on the radicals but generally do not 'eradicate' them unless they become violent. If the people are so happy with him, why the need to suppress anything?

He looks like every other dictator out there to me. The first thing he did when the $$$ started rolling in was to crank up the weapons factories and rattle his saber.</description>

					<description>Luke, when de Gaulle was in power some of your countrymen said also that France was a dictature

so what is a dictature ? 

a country that hasn't the same rules as yours, though they had their owns since ages, you can't transform  all the earthwide into your model, that would be so boring, even if it happens that we appreciate some of your products and people</description>

					<description>Franchie,

Dictators are those that actively suppress individual rights and freedoms of expression. An average Russian has no right to be a "Michael Moore" in his country JUST ASK KASPAROV! I thank GOD that we live in a country where brave men and women like my cousin will fight and die for their country so that people like Michael Moore can bash the people that kept his right to do so! A dictatorship is assignation, it is the limiting of Freedoms of speech, it is the tyrannical grip on power, A DICTATOR IS PUTIN FRANCHIE! I'm done with this debate   :beer:  .. Next Lib please hahaha</description>

					<description>Luke, but Russia don't care of having a Mickael Moore, he simply can't exist there. People just discovered the pleasure of consumerisation, there aren't fed up, up to now, yeah Putin is a kind of soft dictator, he isn't a megalomaniac like all those we used to know, but a rational dictator ; Russia needs that kind of leader, otherwise the country become a big mess, it's so vast ! If you read a bit of their history, you see when the leader hasn't a strong hand, there are revolts... the Russians are quite nice, but a bit undisciplined  (I would say like the Frenchs)

I return your "tournée  :beer:</description>

					<description>To Luke: 
You think that Kasparov represents some considerable part of russian people? You are absolutely wrong. Yes, we have some problems with democracy in Russia, especially because of pro-goverment position of two main national TV channels, which have never critisized the position of goverment. But everyone knows that Kasparov is political whore and he is simply the political project of the West countries. Unfortunately, we can't use a big part of our oil revenues and keep it in stabilization fund, and pro-goverment propaganda try to convict people that it is best way to use big oil revenues. Our political system now is monotonous,  but Kasparov is not our choice. As you can see, he always  shout in camera in english, so foreign interests seems to be more significant for him than national.</description>
