2. seriously? Even if Russians citizens believed differently...

1. It would NEVER BE REPORTED; and
2. And they would NEVER SPEAK OUT.

For all practical purposes, Russia and citizen freedoms has degraded back to the old Soviet/KGB days. People are being disappeared. No one believes their privacy is secure. And everyone has learned, yet again, to fear the state security apparatus.

Which brings us to Vladimir Putin.

Putin was, in essence, raised in the KGB and climbed through the ranks to the highest levels. Putin is a KGB man through-and-through, and now wields tremendous power, and has accumulated an outrageous fortune, all on the backs of Russian citizens.

So yes, this article is about as fake as it gets. It's called PROPAGANDA.
