Putin who is wildly popular in Russia and has for years
polled between 70% and 80% favorability.
First elected in 2000 and has presided over a
miraculous makeover of the Russian economy.
In the spiritual realm 8,000 churches
neglected/destroyed during Soviet times
have been restored. Russia is currently
experiencing a wild surge in patriotism.
Its sad when one looks at Western countries
and finds no courageous leaders. They are
all grifters and clowns.
Six parties will run a candidate for President,
but Putin should win easily.
