This is still an oligarchy and goes against the American constitution.

That's true. But you cannot just jump through all the development steps of a country without experiencing and iternalizing them. Russia was cut from that growth process in 1917 when commies overtook the power, and what we are experiencing in Russia is a pendulum swang back. We are fast-forwarding through it, but it takes time to grow into a proper country. We will get there eventually.

No you won't.
He sold Russian land in Siberia to the Chinese, destroyed schools and medical system.
Oh, and he rigged elections, so there's that.

Вы посмотрите на Росстат. Там все данные есть в открытом доступе же, и по-русски, и по-английски.
Вспомните "нарушения" на выборах: и бюллетени пачками в урны на видео, и статистический анализ, и 100% явка в ряде республик.
Ну централизовал он власть. И? Что-то поменялось к лучшему?
Пока только вот пенсионный возраст резко поднял.

давай я тебе взгляж с другой стороны покажу. ты мыслишь как потребитель привыкший к бесплатным услугам от государства. ничем не лучше чем черный в гетто сидящий на фудстампах. сейчас идет переход от социалистической модели к модели свободного рынка, поэтому медицина и образование (бесплатное ! sic ! ) тихонечко сворачивается и приносящие дохож их куски переходят в чатный сектор. никто не мешает поступить в частный вуз или купить дмс. при этом огромная прлграмма господдержки рождаемости, и импортозамещение помаленьку начинает работать. аграрка и легкое прлизводство практически полностью русские. если ты не хочешб видеть позитив не значит что его нет. давай меньше ненависти, больше конструктива.

Во-первых, не надо этого амикошонства, я с вами на брудершафт не пил.
Во-вторых, откуда вы знаете, к чему собственно я привык и как я мыслю?
В-третьих, "sic" означает совсем не то, что вы думаете.
В-четвёртых, у вас с грамматикой и правописанием полная беда. Читать ваш опус очень тяжело.
В-пятых, ненависти? Простите, откуда такие выводы? С чего вы решили, что я кого-то ненавижу?

Ну и наконец в-шестых, по сути вопроса: "давай", как вы говорите, без голословных мнений, ладно?
Сельское хозяйство и лёгкая промышленность -- русские? Откуда цифры?
Иностранцам землёй в России владеть нельзя по закону, а вот контролировать -- пожалуйста, чем они успешно и занимаются.
Из 7.5М Га находящихся в собственности крупных предприятий (свыше 100К Га), на 2013й год лишь 5.3М были в собственности российских компаний, а остальные 2.2М (30%) управлялись иностранцами.
Касательно лёгкой промышленности, действительно, "во владении иностранных собственников находится 3,4% активов", однако "по сравнению с 2005 г. эта структура практически не изменилась" и "в легкую промышленность иностранные собственники особенно не стремятся в силу относительно низкой инвестиционной привлекательности отрасли."
Причём тут Путин?

Я вам порекомендовал ресурс, но вы, очевидно, им пренебрегли.
Что ж, вот документы, прямо из росстата: тут и про результаты поддержки рождаемости, и про импортозамещение, в частности, есть.
Буду по-буржуйски, чтобы понятно было всем.

Here are some official stats from Rosstat (Russian Bureau of Statistics).

  1. From 2000 to 2015, the number of hospitals decreased by 50%, and hospital beds by 27%.
  2. From 2005 to 2016, the number of primary/secondary/high schools decreased by 34%, the number of pupils who got a certificate of "general education" by 37%, and the number of teachers by 33%.
  3. From 2000 to 2015, the birth index indeed increased from 1.195 to 1.777, but by 2019 it collapsed to 1.504, back to the level of 2008 (1.502).
    How bad was Putin for Russia if his policies moved the country back 11 years -- back to 2008?
  4. From 2000 to 2011, the number of emigrants continuously decreased from 145,720 to 36,774 (even in 2009 compared to 2008!), but in 2012 it jumped to 122,751 and by 2018 it reached 440,831.
    Nearly half a million people leave Russia every year.
    In comparison, the number of immigrants was relatively stable: in 2001 there were 193,450, in 2010 -- 191,656, and by 2019 it grew to 701,234.
    Russians are being replaced. Doesn't sound like nationalism to me.
    The Insider conducted a more elaborate analysis back in 2016.
  5. This 2012-onwards trend can be seen in e.g. "purchase power".
    In 2020, the median (across all categories of groceries) purchase power decreased by 10% compared to 2012, especially fish, grains, milk, butter, and tea.
  6. Many heard about the "import replacement" Putin declared when he imposed the "counter-sanctions".
    The idea being that once the competition is removed from the market, the niche is filled by the local farmers.
    Well...
    The rate of e.g. meat production has decreased from an average of 5% per year before 2016 to just 2% in 2019.
    From January 2015 to January 2020, the median sales of core food items decreased by 6%, most of all meat (down 20%), cheese (16%), butter and other animal fat (15%), and fresh fruit (13%).
    Again, 2% more people are buying 20% less meat.
    Let that sink in.
  7. Finally, from 2000 to 2014, "mineral products" (yeah, that's oil) in Russian export increased from $56B to $350B.
    What's worse, the proportion of oil in export increased from 54% to staggering 70.4% as well, so when the crazy high oil prices crashed, Russia had nothing to replace oil in export, which led to a staggering decrease from nearly $500B in 2014 to $344B in 2015 and $285B in 2016.

The bottom line: Putin's time was not always bad -- but it was hardly his achievement. It's all about the oil.
While the oligarchs bathed in oil dollars, the government let people live -- but at the same time is completely abandoned its basic functions.
During that time, people prospered primarily due to lack of government intervention (personal opinion).

However, left to their own devices and without maintenance, the leftover parts of the Soviet system deteriorated beyond repair, as evidenced by the Rosstat data.
When the oil crisis arrived, it was exacerbated by the political crisis of 2011, intervention in Ukraine, and the $50B Sochi Olympics.

When the chips were down, Putin showed what he really cared about.
Taxes and age of retirement rapidly went up, free speech was squashed, all mass media began espousing exclusively propaganda, elections were openly rigged, all forms of protest were destroyed.
People in Hong Kong protested with blank sheets of paper? In Russia, they were arrested.
Oh, and Putin is selling Russian resources to China, wholesale, at a bargain price.

Watch the downvotes come in from the "patriots" who think dictatorship is good so long as it benefits their cause.
Liberty lovers, my behind.

So fucking what?

We're allied with ethnostates (Israel) and kingdoms (Saudi, Morocco, etc) in the middle east, and those go against the constitution too.
