On August 9, 1999, President Boris Yeltsin named then-unknown Vladimir Putin as Russia’s acting PM. How has that decision changed the country and Putin himself? What were the grounds for it? Experts speak out.
I like PM, and ex-president, Putin's style of leadership. He is honest, and gets his ideas and work done. He can be respectfully assertive. I guess those years in the KGB taught him alot. Last, he has accepted the new free market system, with limited democracy. I respect and trust him. In a way, he would a good big brother.
Second try at this message, first time the system crashed. PM, former President, Putin is honest, respectfully assertive and sarcastic. He gets things done, one way or another. Last, he has also accepted free market economics and a limited democracy. The United States and other nations need a person like Vladimir Putin!
I hope prime minister putin will help bring about a safer and more honest world. He appears to have a caring quality and very strong leadership abilities. I believe he is more a doer than a talker. Lets all hope he does good things that are positive for everyone worldwide.
As president and now as PM he can fulfill the hope for a human future of all peoples including those in the west, as Russia can become the alternative: a society that still takes care of all of its inhabitants










Putin's a great man! =]
