Vladimir Putin's approval rating at record levels Vladimir Putin’s approval rating is at record levels, with nine out of 10 Russians saying they have a positive view of their president. Putin had an approval of 87% in July, and an all-time high of 89% in June, according to Levada Centre polling. Following a drop in popularity in 2012 and 2013, when Putin’s approval ratings dropped into the 60s, the Russian president’s popularity picked up again last year on the back of events in Ukraine. Putin approval According to separate Levada figures from June, 66% believe that western sanctions are meant to humiliate and weaken Russia, and only 5% think they are about ending the conflict in Ukraine. Some 70% of Russians believe the country should stick to its current position on Ukraine, while 20% say it would be better to make concessions in order to avoid sanctions. 87% support the annexation of Crimea, and only 4% think that the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk should return to their pre-conflict status. However, when it comes to the economy, only 13% describe Russia’s current predicament as good, while 53% describe it as average and 31% as either bad or very poor. With nine out of 10 Russians approving of Putin, the president’s ratings are now better than they were in 2008, at the start of the Russian-Georgian war. They are also unusually high compared with the popularity of other world leaders. Only Angela Merkel comes anywhere near Putin, with nearly seven in 10 Germans approving of the chancellor. Putin v G7 How has Russia changed under Putin? It is more than 15 years since Putin became Russia’s president. The former KGB officer was a virtual unknown when he was picked to be prime minister by Russia’s first president, Boris Yeltsin. After Yeltsin’s shock resignation on New Year’s Eve 1999 elevated Putin to the Kremlin, Putin confounded pundits again by winning the presidential election in March 2000 with 53% of the vote. http://www.theguardian.com/world/datablog/2015/jul/23/vladimir-putins-approval-rating-at-record-levels

putin is one of the greatest men and russians have the good sense to realise it
|
Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

I think that this could have been somewhat expected. The media is usually trying to make a bad image surrounding Putin; nothing special since they tend to manipulate. There are probably several contributing factors for this. Russians aren't blaming Putin for their economic situation. I'm pretty sure that the international isolation is what caused the surge in nationalism in Russia.

I'm speaking as an outsider, but I think Putin is the worst thing that ever happened to Russia. He is trying to bring back the old Russia by trying to bring former Soviet republics back into Russia's sphere. Ukraine is a classic example of this. They're justification for the invasion of Crimea (and it was an invasion) is that they need to look after their Russian interests. Crimea is just one microscopic part of Russia. So, I hardly think that Crimea would bear any kind of significance to the vitality of the country.

I am not outsider,becouse i am from Poland and i spent some years in my life under red regime.I know Russia and Ukraine,menthality,condition,history.I know how that regime works.In Putin Russia there is or you are with us or you are against Russia is failing bankruptcy.Russian MinFinn said,if Russia will not cut incredible high pensions for administration workers and his raising military spending than Russia will be bankrupt in two years.Last day Russia officials said that military pwer is mre imprtant that economy.87% russiansmaybe aresaying that thay are supporting Putin,it desnt mean that thay are supporting Russia can be extremaly dangerous,most westerness leaders dont understend that Russia is only understend laungege of force,power.If Russia will see weakness like it was in time of Hitler,than anything can happen,soft version will be cold war,tensins and conflicts in strategic areas of the world.Senator McCain is right,arm Ukraine
Anyway i think worse will not happen becuse of China,Russia is more and more dipendent on China and Chinise dont want conficts ,wars ,cnficts,becouse itculd be very dengerous for them

And Putin is the worst thing that ever happened to the USA and the NATO. He is trying to bring back the old Russia by trying to bring former Soviet republics back into Russia's sphere. He is trying to rebuild Russia, which was completely destroyed during the 1990s by the American puppet Yeltsin. And he has succeeded in doing that. Crimea is just one microscopic part of Russia. So, I hardly think that Crimea would bear any kind of significance to the vitality of the country.
If it is such a microscopic part, then why can't the Ukrainians keep their mouths shut? Crimea was a part of Russia until 1954, when it was illegally transferred to Ukraine. Around 90% of the population is Russian speaking. And they decided to rejoin Russia, after the Kiev junta tried to suppress their human rights (for example the ban on Russian language).

You're being influenced by the media too much. If you consider where Russia was 20-30 years ago, this guy has done several miracles to the country. Crimea is probably another major reason which started strengthening the nationality within the country. If it is such a microscopic part, then why can't the Ukrainians keep their mouths shut?

Exactly. Technically speaking it is his right to take back Crimea because it was illegally transferred to Ukraine. However, the western media made everyone disregard that and made Putin look like a bad guy (which he is not).

Ha, ha. Since the Putin is in power at Russia Usa had big troubles because of him. The USA people have less to eat, less money, less attractions, less all. And all those because of the glorious leadership of Putin in the whole world. Ruble is going high compare to us dollar and the economy of Russia is going even more high ultimately. Nato is in the way to be dissolved. Has lost all the interventions in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. Have no money to go ahead and will pray Russia to lend some. No one country want to join NATO. Except all the countries when Russia impedes with war to do this like Ucraina or other countries from all over the Europe (Georgia, FYROM, Montenegro etc). Poor Usa and NATO!!!

The American public debt now stands at $19 trillion, and soon the NATO will run out of money to conduct new warfare and invasions. The Americans can only bully smaller nations, such as Serbia, Iraq and Afghanistan. If they try to poke Russia, China or Iran, then they will get their asses kicked really hard. And who told you that the Macedonians want to join the NATO? The public is now opposed to the NATO, after the latter instigated the Albanian Muslims to invade Gošince in 2015.

http://www.ibtimes.com/macedonia-montenegro-should-join-nato-despite-russian-opposition-says-polands-defense-1964593http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/12/us-ukraine-crisis-nato-poland-idUSKBN0OS0Y120150612 The American public debt now stands at $19 trillion, and soon the NATO will run out of money to conduct new warfare and invasions.

As I wrote before the public debt of USA is at the point that the American people has no bread to eat. The us dollar is going "down" compare to all the currencies. NATO don't invades peoples but defend peoples. Russia invades peoples like Ukrainians and Georgians because they wanted to go away of the Russian "welfare" and join EU and NATO. And NATO are stealing Crimea to Ukraine. Russia is defending this place from American enemies. USA don't need to poke Russia or another country because have no reason to do this. And contrary to Russia who invades the free countries only to impose its will, will never do this.

I was referring to the polls conducted in Macedonia, where the majority of the people said that they don't want to join the NATO. What your defense minister says is not important here. As I wrote before the public debt of USA is at the point that the American people has no bread to eat. If things go on like this, soon that will be the case. NATO don't invades peoples but defend peoples. Oh sure... the invasion of Iraq was all about defending peoples, not about oil. The invasion of Libya was also about defending peoples, not about oil. The invasion of Afghanistan was also about defending peoples, not about controlling the opium trade.

Exactly. Putin is just the polar opposite of Boris Yeltsin. Under Yeltsin, the ordinary people were starving and fleeing the country, while the oligarchs were accumulating their wealth through various dubious means. That changed when Putin came to power. The oligarchs started fleeing the country (Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky.etc), while the living standards for the ordinary Russians improved.

Putin acted against the oligarchs after he became the president, but by that time most of the oligarchs had moved their ill-gotten gains out of the country (with help from Western banks such as the HSBC, Goldman Sucks, JP Morgan Chase, and the Citibank). Still, he was able to recover some of the stolen wealth (Yukos for example). And this is the main reason why the Western politicians hate Putin.

Ha, ha, he was term limited out, then handed off to his vice president, and then became president again. I keep expecting Bill Clinton to try this in the USA. Anyway, clearly Putin resonates with many Russian citizen. Having control of the media and putting a lot of his political opponents in jail probably also helps. However, it is hard to argue with his success.

Have to love stats coming out of Russia about loving a dictator,North Korea will follow suit now.
Putin has a real problem on his hands and I can not wait to see how he deals with it. He has so far been a pretty good strategist,have to admit the Russian mind is different. They play poker and chess differently. So he has very little friends or some one he can trust to take over for him and not take away all the money he has built up. Honestly he could end up dead if the wrong people got into power,he has way to much money to be ignored. They estimate his billions and they figure he could be in the high billions.

And this is a good thing that the Iron curtain has been break with the help of Pope Jean-Paul II & Polish people ... If living under Russian was so Nice .... explain us why all country living under Russian domination, once free ... banned mostly russian ... and do not want to get anymore anything with them ... ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) ?
