Yeltsin began privatization. 1993 au..."Sorry to disappoint you but I don't hate Russians."
Oh do not start. Another lie.
"All Russians know this to be true"
Learn it
Russell s teapot - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
I am asking you - where is the proof of this statement?
I am Russian. I do not think so. My friends do not think so. My relatives do not think so.
And who thinks so? Do You?
Where do you live?
=)))Lol....
"By telling Russians there are enemies everywhere Putin"
You're confusing. It is a tactic the US.
"The average Russian (never the elites) have endured great hardships throughout history. Putin knows that he can play on their love of country and patriotism and the average Russian will endure whatever is asked of them."
I average Russian. Explain to me exactly what I endure?
Free medical care for me and my family? Or the fact that I received 100 000 rubles for the birth of my first child? (this is under Western sanctions).
I'll make this simple for you. Answer one question:
Where did the Russian oligarchs (and most are billionaires) money come from?
Does the term prikhvatizatsiya ring a bell?
.
Because I may have to log-off soon, I don't want to be rude, leaving my question to you unanswered.
Every Russian knows how Russia's wealth was stolen from them because it was a national scandal. This is a report from 1996 - 3 years before Putin became Prime Minister. Russians and the world were shocked by this blatant theft and the scandal helped bring Putin to power:
"Privatization is deeply unpopular with voters, who cynically refer to it as "prikhvatizatsiya," or "grabification," the giving away of government wealth to a few well-connected and unscrupulous businessmen and bankers."
""It was disgusting," said Boris G. Fyodorov, a liberal member of Parliament who, when he was Minister of Finance in 1993, helped Oneksim Bank get the Government licenses it needed to go into business."
"Mr. Fyodorov described the bank he helped start as a well-run, aggressive institution that got too greedy as it cozied up to the state. "When you can make a billion-dollar deal in one coup, it's difficult to pass up," he said. "Oneksim Bank could never have grown so big so fast without easy money coming from the Government.""

Do you still want to deny that Russians know that their country's wealth was stolen?

Putin corrects the situation 15 years.
