I'm always amused by idiots who, in all the problems of Russia, are sincerely in a hurry to accuse President Putin. Yes, they are idiots. Because those who are not idiots accuse Putin intentionally, because they are outspoken enemies of Russia and these enemies deliberately sow distrust and rejection of President Putin's policy.
At first. For idiots, there is only one truth: either the tsar, the CPSU secretary, or the president alone ruled by Russia ... That's why idiots are always considered guilty of all the troubles of the president (... the tsar, the secretary general, etc.). In addition, idiots believe that only they have the truth and the president should do only what these idiots want or what these idiots consider correct. Well, that's why they are idiots and to those who reproach the president for all the misfortunes, especially in the fictitious and existing problems of the state in these idiots, I treat them like idiots.

Secondly. Clever people perfectly understand that any state is governed by a very numerous so-called."political elite," which is far from always unconditionally ready to carry out the programs and decrees of the supreme ruler, and sometimes desperately resists its political course. The task of the "supreme ruler" (the president, the general secretary of the party, the tsar, etc.) is to be able to keep this "political elite" in check, even in spite of it to pursue a policy for the benefit of the state, society and the people. And also the president's task is to create a situation of stability in the society of citizens of the state. This task is extremely difficult, because society, a special Russian, is extremely heterogeneous in all respects - politically, materially, socially, nationally ... Yes, and morons in Russia - alas! - enough ... In addition, during the Yeltsin years, a very persistent and very aggressive group of oligarchs and their minions has formed, whose meaning of life is not at all in ensuring the welfare of the people, but in providing exclusively and only their personal good, even to the detriment of the whole society and citizens of the state. And try in such a huge on the territory, very heterogeneous composition of society, a very multinational state, not only create an environment of stability, but also achieve sustainable development.
Putin succeeds in this.
Even despite the desperate attempts of idiots - on the one hand, and frank enemies of the people and the state - on the other, this stability is upset.
At the same time, without using harsh violence and ensuring a very, very democratic domestic policy. Unlike countries, the whole world is only screaming about its commitment to democracy, although in their countries there has long been no democracy, no freedom of speech, and every year there are fewer and fewer civil liberties, for example, in the USA.
Moreover, I have repeatedly convinced myself that all these self-styled "protesters", "fighters against corruption", foreign "well-wishers" and "political scientists-advisors" (anti-Soviet), as a rule, do not scruple conscience and deliberately lie, condemning politics and personally the president himself, sometimes even sinking to direct insults. And liars and idols can not be trusted in any way.
Therefore, I will vote for Putin.
PS At the same time, I see his mistakes and do not always agree, for example, with the softness and tolerance shown by him in respect of certain groups of "oppositionists" and leaders ...
