Вот за что я действительно уважаю Путина, так это за то, что он поставил олигархов на место и прекратил эту финансовую анархию.
Notice how Bush senior having been the director of the CIA is never mentioned, nor how these Russian oligarchs oiled the wheels of western corporations dealings in Russia, which is why so many have refuge in London. British journalism has become as big a farce as its leaders.
Lubyanka Square, where the KGB/FSB building is located is very beautiful.
The richest oligarch boss is… Putin…
Now let’s get this correct; He worked in the administration department of The KGB. He’s not some dangerous Agent..
You mean the west like the US, UK, EU have no corruption ? Wow.
How about a doc on how GCHQ shaped the Guardian's reporting?
Can we have also “How Wall St & Big Tech dictate Policy & Presidential elections…”

Just thinking out aloud. Didn't the Soviet Union totally collapse under Gorbachev.
Then came the drunkard buffoon Yeltsin to finish off Russia.
Putin turned Russia within like a decade back into a global power. Look how Europe and the UK are going into recession coz of him alone.
Does anyone still think Putin is dumb or a coward? I don't think ex kgb operatives are???
