Does Putin want to turn Russia back to the old Soviet days?

Answer 1

WOW you came up with a new question not a rant!
Congratulations!!! Thank you.
Yes he wants the return to the Czars not the Communist days .

Answer 2

NO....they have huge oil reserves, and free markets and a booming economy, if he can keep the lid on and steer it the right direction Russia will be the next Great Power, but tight economic controls must first take place to build a middle class, and stop the oligarchs from pillaging the country.

Answer 3

Of course he does, just like the people that want to do things like Jefferson did. The problem is that the Russians of today still remember the old days, it will not happen. Remember Putin was a KGB colonel probably more powerful then he is as president of the country.

Answer 4

I think America is giving him reason to think he should.

We weren't a threat to them before Iraq... but I believe they had some under the table oil deals with the Middle East, that we disrupted...

OF COURSE he's a little sour... we're making it harder for him to successfully run his country.

Mark me thumbs down, but I think that's how a Russian would look at it, and that's how you can get the BEST analysis of a situation... Look at it from both sides.... I wish I could tell the Neo-Cons that

Answer 5

No,he tries to retain some of the positive strenths of the USSR, to balance the US, but he is much too much privatisation oriented

Answer 6

Yes! He wants back everything they've lost , including the power of a dictator.

Answer 9

KGB says it all.

Answer 10

No.
