A. Kalityuk: "The development is real: parks are being laid out, embankments are being restored, lighting has really been added, the quality of roads has improved, and repairs are being carried out all year round."

Vladimir Putin: "What else should I do?"

I cannot imagine any politician in the west answering that statement like that. It seems that President Putin sees himself as supporting the people, as a servant, albeit the most important one. Just can't help feeling that this is a nation only getting started. The future looks very bright, I think.

Yes, the potential is there. As I've said, Russia could easily use 200 million more people and still have a 2.0 unemployment rate--there's that much to do. And there's more of the same that comes out in Putin's visit to Chelyabinsk.

Putin cracked me up telling that 33 yr old design engineer it was time to have kids. These posts are important as they show a human side with Putin’s interactions with the population.
