Although this catastrophic event played out on television screens across the world and many criticized his response, Putin and his government insisted this was their only course of action, regardless of the European Court of Human Rights suggesting otherwise.
They accused Putin of using excessive force when storming the school and failing to take into consideration the risks this action would pose to the innocent people held inside.
In Russia, there was of course anger, consternation and despair about how the events unfolded and the apparently needless loss of innocent life but Putin’s handling of the situation did not cause any lasting damage to his reputation in the eyes of the Russian people.
A poll conducted after the massacre showed that 83% of the populous still supported the president and he would use this to his advantage by changing the laws regarding the electing of governors in regions like North Ossetia and Chechnya, now that decision would be down to Putin himself.
1 thought on “Vladimir Putin – The Polarizing Bear of Russia?”
Putin was / is no choir boy. He now lives in a billion dollar palace with lavish gardens and secluded acreage. He leaves a trail of executed enemies and I would wager unlike the cowardly Clintons, he didn’t hire someone to do his dirty work. My guess is he has acquired much of his wealth from stealing. He is / was a thief, murderer and bully.
That being said, he now promotes family, Christianity, a sovereign Russia. He loves his country.
Russian military soldiers are encouraged to be heterosexual not homosexual like here in America. No red high heel marches for Russian troop and none of this insane transgender nonsense.
Say what you will about Putin, but he always comes across with dignity and decorum unlike our womanizer Clinton, blustering big mouth Trump, queer, gay Obama, drunk at the podium Piglosi or senile pedophile Biden.
Russia at the moment can be proud, they at least have a leader that acts like a leader. He’s not perfect but Vladimir Putin is a hell of a lot better than the traitors in DC that have sold our country out and are for the most part all sexual perverts, drunkards and cocaine addicts.
I saw a picture of Putin as a young boy sitting on his mother’s lap. They are both rail thin and looked to be real Russian peasants. Vladimir Putin started out dirt poor. He had initiative, drive, focus and despite all the odds against him is now where he is at.
