Why is Putin so popular in Russia?

Travel Tips

i can't understand why people here ask so many questions about Putin. He is a real nice president, he is doing a lot of stuff for the country. At least, for the last 20 years, he is only one who does good for the country itself!

Others
Because he told the media that if they didn't push that idea on the public, they would all rot in jail.
Because people like him.
Because he's very assertive. And he's helping the economy of many cities, although he's hurting country settlers in return.
Maybe it's because he has such a long nose and is a good liar (Pinocchio??)
