Well man of the people who also has secretively amassed a fortune north of 70 billion dollars. It would make him the 3rd richest man in the world behind only Bill Gates and Carlos Slim. Of course there are princes and kings who are likely worth more but for the man of the people he seems to have a nice racket going on.
His Billion dollar mansion they are building near the Black Sea.
Here is a photo of him when he was working for the KGB back in the day acting like a normal tourist stopping to see then President Reagan.
It looks like more and more information is coming out about his dealings in the past with many politically connected friends. All these people have gained richly by association with Putin.

The only real power in this plane of existence is the power over life and death. Jobs dont mean anything, commerce dont mean anything unless someone is there willing to put his life on the line to stop someone from taking it for themselves.
I am just saying that in general (pun intended). Muscle and ruffians are just as valuable to society as a sanitation worker, or barber.
Here is Dmitry in Silicon Valley. Yes its was not going to happen overnight but he made huge progress promoting Russia as a technical powerhouse. He was open to working with others and creating greater openness with others.
He even communicated regularly using facebook and twitter. He understood to bring talent to Russia you needed to reach out and show expats this was a new Russia. Now Putin has thrown much of that good will out the window. He has set back Russian technology economy by at least 5 years because tech sector will not deal with him.
anyone else want to admit they would not hesitate to screw over anyone and everyone for money?
Russia has tried to reach out to the West multiple times and was repeatedly rejected, even during Medvedev's term.
You need 70 billion dollars to pay the bills? I'd think I could settle for less if it meant not ruining other people.
Even this kid is looking at Reagan thinking "do I really have to shake this assholes hand?"
God, Reagan sucked so F'n bad it hurts to think about.
And this is why you don't understand nor fear power. You think "good" people are ambitious enough to claw their way to the top to help the "little" people. Lol
have you been drinking? Your response to his post certainly seems to indicate that you have.

Funny how a guy who gets flack for his anti-homosexual policies is the object of so much homoerotic fantasizing. I swear some of you would like nothing more than to have Putin caress your face, kiss you on the mouth, enter you from behind, and then provide a strong man for you to stay at home and clean house for.

You gotta admit though; if you swung that way, he would be the ideal man.
Rich, powerful, rugged, and able to protect you from hungry grizzlies in the dead of winter.
