Russian police detain opposition leader, hundreds of protesters

[AViet]

You can all cry for conspiracy,that doesn't change the fact that corruption remains a significant problem in Russia. It is impacting every aspects of life,like in the public administrations,health,law enforcements,education etc. Any people have the right to protest against the massive corruption of their government and institutions like any sane person would do and to seek improvments.



At the last Corruption Perceptions Index of Transparency International (2016) Russia was ranked at the 131st position with a score of 29. Just to compare,Pakistan was ranked at the 116th position with a score of 32.

Admiring Russia shouldn't make everyone blind.

Corruption is a significant problem in France and all the Western countries as well. From Sarkozy to the woman now preside IMF and now Presidential candidates. What a clean country a French citizen should brag about.
Regarding Index of Transparency, should we trust any US-controlled organization for such things? North Korea should be much cleaner than any Western country, but they are ranked at the bottom.

I don't know why my countrymen are defending and cheering a corrupt guy.

This is the psychological reaction which allows fascism to grow.
By taking the side of the "strong leader" instead of the side of the "strong cause".
It is the stuff executioners and torturers are made of.

It is also perhaps a result of hatred of the US.
Since there is a lot of friction between the US and Russia, they are taking sides.

I've never claimed France was corruption-free or perfect. It has few corrupt politicians and had some cases of bribery in case of public procurement. Heads have always rolled after Justice investigations,but nothing to compare to the massive corruption and rigged institutions in some countries like Russia,or even Vietnam.

Of course it's all cryptojews conspiracy.

It has been estimated that Putin is good for 70 B$ nowadays.
There is a reason why the Sotji Olympics were 3x as costly as the next most expensive,
and Putin apparently takes his percentage on each major deal.



Yes, they can easily arrange demonstrations in 100 cities in Russia.

Estimated by idiots like you?
The bunch of freaks lead by Western paid crook and thief who represent 0,7% of Russian population made their usual annual performance. Nothing special happened, you can now change your wet pants and prepare for Putin's landslide victory in 2018. Sorry for breaking your wet dreams.
As for corruption - when Le Pen become president of France she will tackle it in EU

Since when did you become so anti-fascist? I'm sure Putin is less of a fascist than your favourite al sissy in Egypt. So save your love of democracy for another day.

You mean the Le Pen, which currently is under investigation for corruption?
Getting the EU to pay salaries of Party Members?
All that money, she borrowed from Putin, was not enough?

Always been anti-fascist, unlike You.
And exactly why would the President of Egypt be my favourite?

Every country has some unhappy people.

If a population of a country exceeds 100 million there can be no one single govt which can make everyone happy and there will always be few thousands or few hundred thousand grudged people.

As far as Russia is concerned, Putin is doing a fine job from Russian point of view. Far better than Yelstin and co who had ruined the country to almost non-recoverable disaster.

Putin should however take note and take action against corrupt people who are spoiling his image befoe the public.

Putin is already taking action against all corrupt people in Russia.
He demands 10% of their income (or so) transferred to his personal accounts.

And I believe you have hard evidence for that, right?

Or just spreading rumors because some known anti-Putin Western media says so?

Most Western media reports negatively on Putin for good reasons.

The affairs in Sochi was investigated by "Uppdrag Granskning", Swedish Television,
which found corruption on all levels, including not paying
foreign workers, and then throwing them out of the country, so they could not
file complaints.
All the construction work, was awarded to personal friends of Putin.

There are plenty of reports on the corruption in Russia.

I have friends in the banking business with information about Putins bank accounts in the West.

And such corruption of nepotism is found for EVERY Western leader as well. As we speak, Trump has just created a new ministry so that his son-in-law can run it.

Again, in one form or the other such corruption exists everywhere in the Western word. Otherwise Blair, Cameron, Iceland PM, Sarkozy, Israeli PM and 100s others wouldn't be under investigatoin.

But you making a blatant allegation that Putin takes "10%" of all the corruption sums without any hard evidence is absurd.

Anyone can say anything on the net. I can say, I have friends in the banking sector who have informaiton about Swedish King's bank accounts ...big deal?
