My wife works for a Russian company and has been to Russia. Interesting place. Making good use of their plentiful raw materials. Good on Putin for getting the win. Russia is in it for the long run. I loved how they ramped up the interest rates. Putins a patriot. None of that GMO muck or NGO's stoking mayhem and bringing in migrants everywhere. Also excellent work with Crimea. Russia dealt with ISIS and Assad remains. Putins a player.
