Putt Putt Putin

I'll be honest. I'm not very good with Russian politics.

But I hear there's a lot of protests against Vladimir Putin who I think
is the President of Russia unless I am mistaken.

So what's so bad about this guy?

Or are the protesters wrong?

Is Putin some kind of dictator or are such claims exaggerated?

He's EX-KGB so does that mean he's a Communist?

Didn't Russia stop being Communist in the 90s?

Or are they still Communist but sorta in a underground fashion?

How does Russia's govt compare with the U.S or other European countries?

YouTube:

I think the biggest thing is that he's helping countries like Iran with their nuclear programs, knowing full well that they aren't planning on using it for "peace offerings." He also blasted Nato for killing Ghaddafi, even after the man was slaughtering his own citizens claiming they had no right and blahblahblah.

He is a dictator. He is the prime minster, but his puppet Medvedev is the president. Putin will be running for president again. Ohh screw it, just read this...

Thanks. That helps a bit.

So from what I take...

Russia is basically a mafia state.
