Political Views[]

I am absolutely proud supporter of Putin. I watch what is happening in the country for a long time already - I am 53 years old. In 1991 I already understood everything well. And I see how the country has changed since 2000, when Putin came. I do not compare the two persons, but ... Nicholas II wrote into the column "profession" in some inquiry: "The Master of the Russian land". Today, the so-called liberal intelligentsia reminds me of the people that ultimately led to the murder of the king in 1918. They are engaged in everything but themselves. And one must begin with the question: what am I? what have I done for my country to become better? What am I, a sinless angel, to pound the government so righteously? I'm deeply convinced that for the first time in 70 years we've got a professional manager, who really works for the state. And, mind you, weekly confesses and takes Communion. I know that for sure! And it tells me a lot. True Orthodox person can not do evil. Even if he is engaged in such a slippery thing [as politics]. Leading Russia is daunting. But everywhere, at all performances, including in front of students, I say: we live in a country that has risen from its knees. We are stronger, and we are feared and hated by some - take a scandal with our Olympians. They want to ruffle, to provoke us. We annoy them. We grow stronger. In contrast, Europe is falling apart. And America - a colossus on feet of clay. This is what I feel about policy today. Although a few years ago, I was on the side of that part of intelligentsia, which since Soviet times fights with the authorities. It is a bad habit! ^[5]
