Konstantin Kisin explains why the Russian public supports Putin, even in his invasion of Ukraine. Russian's experience of democracy in the 1990's brought poverty and corruption - Putin was the solution to this malaise.

400 people were arrested in Russia last year for things they said on the internet, that number was approx. 3500 in the UK in the same year. Interesting statistic

I remember the western news on Russia in the 90s ... it consisted of "They now have McDonalds and are free."

As a South Korean, I understand what Konstantin is talking about. Until 1993, South Korea was ruled by either dictator except in names, or actual mlitary dictatorship. Many of them are revered by old South Koreans even today because they brought certain level of stability after devastation of Japanese Occupation, WW2, and Korean War. In comparison to total chaos and war torn country, stable dictatorship was preferrable.

I’m from United States but have listened to a lot of his speech’s! Great man and thank heaven for him!

Many people ask this question and are puzzled by the popularity of Putin. Thank you for this important explanation. Everything is relative and we should not judge others by our own standards.

Well coming back to the question of 1990's in Russia, USA and western advisors helped form the new Russian economy which almost destroyed Russia as well as many of it's citizens. You can find a speech of Russian president Boris Yeltsin in the Congress in USA and how everybody is happy and applaud (similar to Zelensky or Guaido today), while it's nation suffered.

I lived in China for 12 years, and I used to tell my western friends that the idea that democracy meant you got everything (or anything) you wanted was as ridiculous as the idea that public opinion had no influence on government in China.

@demoraes4037 2 года назад

The right question is: What's democracy to Western World? Democracy to Western World is just prosperity? And what about FREEDOM, LIBERTY? Nowadays, would be Western people experiencing a real democracy? Really?

I was born in Belarus in 1983 and moved to the UK in 1986 with my mother. I showed her this clip and she said that Konstantin is spot on with everything (yes, everything) that he said.

What is so shocking about this is how it's beginning to apply to the West of the 2020s.

@intello8953 Год назад

Especially when you ask a person in Asia, Africa or Middle East what Democracy means. To them it means western imperialism, bombings, invasions and “if you have a different ideology and especially natural resources that we want we will force you to have democracy and liberalism”🤷🏾‍♂️

The same financial collapse spoken of here will be coming to the west. . . Soon. We are all going to experience this soon.

@Maestro7228 Год назад

I'm russian. I would prefer things to change but this man did a neat job explaining what is actually going on and how things in the past lead to what we have today.

@28pbtkh23 2 года назад

Brilliant answer. In six minutes. It makes sense when you look at Russian history.

@antoinettekankindi6807 2 года назад

What Kisin is describing is also happening in the so called Western democracies

@karenielsen4713 Год назад

The best thing about democracy: everyone has a vote.

@denisavdeev8148 Год назад

I simplify it even more. My grand parents were very scrupulous with their money. They had a very hard life, born during the civil war, childhood in the red terror years of 30s. Then the war. After the war worked all their lives, my grandmother as an accountant my grandfather as a mechanic. When the Soviet Union fell apart they had their lives savings, about 200 grand in buying ability in today's money. Those life savings were devalued in 3 months so much that you couldn't buy a pack of smokes with them.

@glebarhangelsky4351 Год назад

I was born in 1979 and I remember very well the absolute collapse Konstantin is talking about. Just one correction: founder of Romanov's dynasty has been elected peacefully and democraticly in 1613 by Zemsky Sobor ("Estates General"). The same about Tzar Boris Godunov in 1598, after the Rurikovichi dynasty has stopped, but legitimacy of this election and the representativeness of this particular Zemsky Sobor is disputable. We also had a lot of democracy in Novgorod Republic, which was important part of middle ages Russia.

@vladkagreen1824 Год назад

Well I can't say I noticed much democracy in the west in the last decade. Swapping one corrupt party or politicians for another is not really a choice, is is? And do you have the feeling that we prosper?
