The "Time magazine" Putin "Person of the Year 2007" has chosen. Which takes us joy when such news reaches us! -We know that this man deserves it. Like no other he has changed recently a country: suppression of free speech, censorship of the media, hunting journalists, strengthening of the bureaucratic apparatus, enlargement of corruption, monopolization of the economy, state interference in economic processes, these are just some of his achievements.
The folks at Time magazine, "of course know that the enumerated changes not one of the virtues include the President. The title he did not get even because he human rights in Russia is under foot, lying, and his "friends" routinely violate the law. No. According to Time magazine, Putin has won the title because he is said to have achieved stability in Russia. And they need the Russians as the air we breathe. Are there no men in the house of the Russian loses its orientation, can not remember where, what to do. Stability is the moment, so the idea of "Time magazine," even more important than democracy.
The result is not the impression that all other countries to deal with democracy, only Russia. The reasons for this lie in the history of the country, you would think. Always there was a gentleman in the house. Without him, I can not. But we remember times in Germany after the Second World War. The Germans quickly learned what democracy is. One has to make just the right precautions: eg since the Nuremberg trials were mentioned. Organizing one in Russia a "Nuremberg trial", sitting much of the apparatchiks, the earlier (even in Soviet times), as well as today's power elite in prison.
Without "Nuremberg" just not a democracy! For a "stability", caused by the fact that the power elite the apparatchiks of the oligarchs has been replaced in the nineties. But where, pray tell, though, is the stability have come? Perhaps the West should wash out his eyes from the oil and gas and more accurate look: control over the media creates far no stability. Through the media people in the country is suggested that the system is stable. But as it looks, is also the West purely on it. That has left out but in truth the apparatchiks who like Putin in the nineties now starving dogs from their cages to govern the country and suck the country and make extremely unstable, eg by a corrupt bloated bureaucracy, the economic growth severely slow down and ensure that funds are transferred from corrupt pockets abroad is not observed.
We are the Russian president is to his "honest" acquired title to congratulate and hope that the "stability" will continue to justify its title. -At least as long as the oil price does not drop. There
