    Hey, welcome to DP!

    And go here when you get a chance.... http://www.debatepolicy.com/showthre...-Introductions

    My first question:

    What's your thoughts on Vlad Putin? Of course he is often demonized over here, just as I assume some US leaders are done over there. But would like to hear someone's opinion that is living in Russia!

    Me too. I rate Putin highly, but that’s only from the little I know of him; strong, a conservative and he gave the EU the boot out of the Ukraine. I’m sure there’s more to it than that. Welcome ‘Polite Russian’. Oh by the way, where in Russia are you?

    Welcome!
    Gave the Norwegians a good run for their money last night, was somewhat hoping we could have Eurovision in Russia for next year, given it would be the campest in a generation.

    I think that Vladimir Putin is good president. He raised our economics, rebuild our army.. But he is not perfect (my personal opinion). I really dont like his interior politics, he's position about nationalism, islam and a lot of other moments. But at that time, he is the only one person, who can rule our country. I think, that Russia need "strong hand", and Putin is that hand. In that case there a lot of his enemies here. Practically all of them are liberals and their leaders like to go in to your embassy for "consultations".

    He is not perfect, but he is the only one, who can rule Russia.

    I visited Leningrad, as it was called then, a long time ago, also stayed in the Baltic States for a while. I'm now n Mongolia, so this forum has some pretty diverse people on it.

    True (:

    Made all the sweeter by how bitter the Russian media and power elite were towards her victory. They even cut away from her on screen presentations during this years show to show wide views of the hall instead.

    Hello, Polite Russian.

    Where did you learn English, and is it common to have fellow Russians speaking English?

    Also, I'm curious as to what you think of the Ukrainian crisis - do you think it was manufactured by Putin or do you think it was started by legitimate Ukrainians that wished to return their country to Russian rule?

    Hellow.

    Unfortunaly there are not many people here know English well.
    I learned it at school, my parents hired tutors, and I had some practice, while traveling


    Abot Ukrainin crisis - is is a hard and "deep" question.. I dont have enough time right now, so, if you dont mind, you will get your answser later. Or you can add me in Skype.
    I can say about Crimea - it is a will of Crimea people. I was there 4 years ago, and they said, that they dont want to be in Ukrain. And, last summer, my friend was there. People are really happy, Russian flags are everywhere. So...
    And I dont think, that crisis was manufatrured ONLY by Putin. Thats fault of all sides. Russia, Ukraine, and USA/EU. There are no innocents.

    As I previosly said - it is complicated theme.

    I have a good friend named Serguei who was a Sergeant in the Soviet army. I don't consider you an enemy. If you were a programmer, all I would care about is how well you use interfaces, composition and avoid code repetition.
