Russian police say they have smashed a gang producing millions of dollars worth of contraband cheese. Six people were detained accused of making cheese worth $30m (£19m) using ingredients from the West. Russia has destroyed Western-made cheese and other foods after banning some imports in retaliation for sanctions over Crimea's annexation. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33977680 This guy Putin is nothing new..... Complete dictator.... Says on wiki he is president.... What a joke... The ruble will become another blow up
unfortunately it is not a joke and dictator is much less of a problem, than a nation that loves him and ready to die for his ideas russians do not need cheese, they are ready to eat shit if Putin will say so
They interviewed a girl in her thirties she stated " I wish we didn't ever have to depend on other countries for anything"... Geezzzzzzzzz. He is like their patriach... It's almost like a sick religion
Putin is a reflection of the Russian soul. Russians look at him as in a mirror, and they love what they see. American presidents are also a reflection of American soul. The difference between American soul and the Russian soul: American soul is multifaceted, hence such a different people as Reagan and Obama represent each facet of the nation's soul. All Russian leaders instead are very similar to each other.
Sounds a bit metaphysical... More pragmatically I'd say they are a undeveloped culture seeking collectivism instead of individualism
