Man of the year 2007

Congratulations on Vladimir Putin being named Time magazine's man of the year 2007. To tell the truth, before i was never a supporter of Putin and his ways, but now i really think differently. Putin has really restored pride in the Russian people, he has brought the bear back to life.

Even though he has made some questionable decisions, i must say i respect his way of changing and turning the country around. He uses a rule that has actually shown significant changes in the Russian country. He stabilized the country and given rise to a more stable Russian economy, and managed to distribute the wealth, so that even though the rich are becoming super rich, the poor have become noticably better off as well. In his regime, so many Russian billionaires were born, and are now players on the world stage.

To read the full interview go here. He's proven much more successful then certain politicians i know of. In short, i view him as the Russian version of Tun Dr. Mahathir. LOL
