KASPAROV FOR PRESIDENT!!

[GenericPurpleTurtle]

I havn't however I'm sure it is awful, that said roads are improving constantly and each time a visit Russia, about 2 a year, a new road is built. Anyway I'm not saying hes good, he's corrupt and ridiculously conservative, however he actually does do something to help the country, which is more than anyone can say about Yeltsin or any other possible candidate. The majority don't vote for him because they think he's bad and like having a shit life...

I know someone from Siberia, Russia. They say the quality of life is awful there. Therefore, they had to emigrate elsewhere. These Russians had nothing good to say about their own country as well as their current corrupt prime minister putin.

Russian capitalism, and democracy, was betrayed by a bunch of corrupt Russian politicians. And your hero Putin is the greatest exponent of cronie capitalism. So what's wrong with a chess player being a politician? You'd rather a former spy who never had the balls to operate behind enemy lines. One who helped launder Colombian drug money, and who helped embezzle funds donated from Germany for the citizens of St Petersburg in the early nineties. You need to relocate to Putin's Russian paradise.

Kasparov is a good chess player, but I'm not going to let a chess player be a politician, equally I wouldn't trust a 5 year old with a kithen knife. They can critise Putin all they want but mark my words they will be no more corrupt than he was. Think back to Soviet times when people thought capitalism would bring a better standard of living. It's the same propoganda, and it's surprising that people never learn. No ones going to say, I'm doing this so I can become a millionare, will they?

So Nemtsov and Kasparov are "Western thugs" .......... You really are clueless. I'm going to tell you one last time, since Putin took over, world oil prices increased 10-fold. Improvements were inevitable. But Putin barely delivered considering the benefits of $147 per barrel. Instead he and his rubber-stamp Duma have robbed the country blind, while lawyers, journalists and human rights activists have been jailed and murdered with impunity. Homer Simpson would have done a better job than Putin.

My grandparents live in Russia, as do a lot of close family relatives. Don't you realise that the choice is, Putin, a western thug, like Yeltsin, or Communism? I personally would prefer socialism because although civil liberties were curbed, standard of living was higher. You're like all deluded russians, keep thinking that the next change will be better than the last. Putin is by no means a hero or a saint, but compared to what it could be, be glad, at least some improvements are being made.

Yeltsin was a drunken thug, who enabled your hero Putin. Europe and America are doing just fine in comparrison with Putin's Russia, where GDP dropped 9.5% in 2009. You really need to leave the comfort of the UK and spend some time in Russia, or relocate there. I don't mean Moscow, try living in one of Russia's mono-economy provincial cities. Have you ever tried reading the Economist, or is that just capitalist propaganda to you? My Russian mother-in-law's pension is equal to $80 per month.
