Improved the standard of living for his people.
The ONLY such improvement is that you used to pay organized crime for protection, now you pay directly to local cops. Their cops are the new millionaires and you must pay a good size bribe to join the ranks.
This last round of "improved" Constitution now fines you for using cuss words. 70% of the country is still using outhouses, no improved infrastructure. If you go to a hospital you are still expected to provide your own medicine. Yes, they will tell you which specific medicine, but its on you.
Milk products, you know, cheese, yogurt, state now that "50% of the product is using milk, who knows what the rest of ingredients are.
Such a great life...
I can go on and on and on... The place was a dump, and is a dump. The only thing he did improve is that instead of the country selling off its resources by whoever is able to put their hands on them, Putin now controls who is able to do so, his small cabal of friends. And outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg the life today is as it ever was, utter crap. Main reason entire population drinks to forget, they have nothing else to live for. What you read and what the reality is are hugely different things. Strange, and ironic, how so many (correctly) think that our news media openly lies to us, and then, somehow, you take anything coming out of the originators of news media lies as facts and truth.
Believe what you want, doesn't make it factual. Maybe you should move there since you love the place so much. Let's see how much you really like it. And how fast you will be crawling back on your knees and elbows to escape that "great place".
You seem very emotional about this. I never said Russia was a great place to live, perhaps your angst is the dissonance you're feeling when trying to force the idea that the US is a great place to live when it perhaps isn't anymore.

No, not emotional. Analytical, and factual. And really tired of telling people they are full of shit, to only see them go into a non-stop circle jerk instead of actually educating themselves on a subject. Up your hormones level with your "you're emotional" crap.
And yet in your 1000 word thesis response to me you missed that I never said Russia was a great place to live, you straw manned that, meanwhile Russia has a significantly better literacy rate than the US. It has better tertiary education attainment that the US, better debt to GDP than the US, paid maternity leave, and IIRC a better GINI co-efficient. These are factual points of debate, your soapbox consists of "Putin is evil", well fine, if all leaders are seemingly evil then the only question left is what is the outlook for X country over the next 50 years and unless radical change happens the US is demographically dead.
