>gave Russians freedom of speech>gave Russians democracy>gave Russians freedom of travel>gave Russians freedom of occupation>hated communism>hated authoritarianism>loved the West>loved capitalismHe was the best leader Russia ever had, but Russians hate him and love Putin, despite Putin killing millions of them. They truly are slaves.
>>542044939>lies>therefore russia badCool VPN Amerimutt
>>542044939>drunken piece of shit lets Russia turn into an oligarchic shithole that was near economic collapse and Muslim takeover by late 1999
>>542044939Russians, Balkanoids and WASPs always want the worst for everyone because they feel like the world owes them more.
>>542044939putin was like yeltsins right hand man or something. in fact putin wanted to ascend russia to nato at the beginning of his rule but was shoo'd off by bush
>>542044939>we need an alcoholic Russian pedo>… isn’t that all of them?>one who’ll do what we say >oh, ok then
>>542044939alcoholic yeltsin brought Russia to economic disaster, kill yourself natoshill
>>542044939I hope each yuro shithole gets their own yeltsins and gorbachevs. In fact, it would be better if they would take turns, over and over again.
>>542045301literally every post commie country in the 90s was economic disaster with no exceptions
>>542045301>yeltsin did that>not 40 years of communismRetarded?
>>542045212Putin got corrupted by power. After 8 years he should have stepped down But Russians allowed him to stay until this day. Fucking retarded lol. No Soviet leader could have gotten away with this. Somehow they became more totalitarian than in Soviet days.
>>542045641Russians prefer strong men to rule them, as opposed to say fat grandmotherly figures who want to ethnically replace them with Turks. It’s a real head scratcher.
>>542044939people hate him because he was a literal alcoholic who ruined the economy, sold entire industries to oligarchs for a fraction of their real cost and gave independence to half of the country, not because of the things you listed (except maybe that he hated communism)t. russian
You know you live in the real democracy (what even that means) when you are ruled by the Seven Bankers.
>>542044939That's al gore faggot
>>542045641>No Soviet leader could have gotten away with this.because soviet union had some sort of intellectual elite and was actually a more or less working system (even if this system ignored some needs of people like toilet paper lmao). putin on the other hand is just a retarded faggot obsessing over his personal power who has been deliberately corrupting the system for the last 20 years. modern russian elites are a joke >But Russians allowed him to stay until this daylmao. he took the power through lies, pressure on society and rigged elections. even in 2012 there were massive protests against him. the only thing that saved his ass was the "crimean consensus" (it gave him time to pass the repressive laws and strengthen his power)
>>542045799Wrong, the first chechen war was started by Yeltsin. Gorby gave them independence, not yeltsin.
>>542046441Now do Erdogan.
>>542044939
Medvedev is the king, Putin was angry at him after that.
>>542044939>loved vodka like no one else on this planet>also gave away ukraine, lmao.
>>542046441Soviet leaders were idealists. They saw all humans as brothers. They didn't have that retarded complex towards the West. They saw them as rivals, nothing more. Modern Russia sees the West as literal metaphysical evil. Their views are much closer to Nazi Germany than to Soviet Union, who saw saw Jews in a similar way as metaphysical evil. Soviets were retarded, but they weren't particularly evil. Modern Russia is retarded as well as evil.
>>542046671>the first chechen war was started by Yeltsinonly because the chechenians are retarded radical islamists and their independence is unironically a serious threat to russia and other caucasian countries. (you can look how the second chechen war started)>Gorby gave them independence, not yeltsin.Only half-true, he was mostly forced into this situation by radical liberals like yeltsin (yet it doesn't make him less involved, he is also widely hated for that). here is a yeltsin's quote: "take as much sovereignty as you can swallow"
>>542046715he is just as bad as putin but he didn't get absolute control and that saves turkey for now. I'm not a turk so I don't know shit though
>>542046993>They didn't have that retarded complex towards the Westnobody really hates "the west" in russia. that's some retarded ideological construct that people don't care about. some people hate ukraine or baltic states but that's a whole other story. modern russia has no ideology, only some postmodernist pile of (often incompatible) ideas used to justify actions post-factum. the government is literally a mafia clan that doesn't care neither about philosophy nor about legitimacy
>>542044939If I had a gun and was in a room with Hitler and Yeltsin I'd empty the entire magazine into Yeltsin.
