Oh, come on! Russians aren't as bad as portrayed by western media. Some of their folks are pretty good comrades. Americans, for example, never wanted to embrace Russians after the Czar slaughter. Perhaps, that created more troubles for them to break Russia up further after the purchase of Alaska. Took'em quite a few decades to have Mikey Gorbie do the shattering again. All in all, Vlad is more rational than many western corrupt officials and so I wouldn't judge either him or his nation so much.

"Elites hold multiple passports." Steven Seagal was given a Russian passport a few days ago by Putin himself. I will never watch a Steven Seagal movie again.
