The first twelve years of the third millennium in Russia is called the period of stability. This is the time when the country is governed by Vladimir Putin. But what is the price of such stability? And isn’t it really a carefully crafted myth?
The statistics are inexorable, say the authors of the documentary “The Real Putin” – in Russia, not everything is as good as it is customary to say on central TV channels. Mortality is increasing. The gap between rich and poor is growing. Corruption has spread through the country with cancer. Officials do not hesitate to show off chic things - palaces, cars, yachts, wristwatches for tens of thousands of dollars.
The number of dollar billionaires in Russia is increasing every year, our country is among the leaders in this direction. But among those who are on the list of the richest, there is no one who would earn their capital with the help of the latest technologies. All the new Russians are people who were somehow on good terms with Vladimir Putin during his time in St. Petersburg. All of them shared among themselves national wealth – oil, gas, metals, coal, electricity. So what is the price of stability? What will happen if this stability continues for another 12 years? And that is how much Vladimir Putin is likely to remain in power. How will Russia handle this? And you and me?
The documentary “The Real Putin” was created by an initiative group of Russian citizens. close
