Natalia,
Those of us old enough to remember the national humiliation during the Carter years should be able to understand why you Russians like Putin. He gave you back your pride and honor. He is your Reagan.
if we expect every country to resemble us in political preferences we’re going to be in for a very disappointing and lonely existence. And to be perfectly selfish, we need a strong Russia, and equally Russia needs us.
Hopefully our next president and Mr Putin, in whatever office in the Kremlin he will occupy, will have the wisdom to see this.
Believe me, Natalia. When the USA and Russia quarrel, China laughs.
