Russia was in free fall under Putin's predecessors - there was no rule of law. So it could be argued that he is the man who saved Russia from implosion and disintegration. That would mean he could be the best thing to have happened to Russia and the Russian people as he has ensured stability.

If one accepts the above, the question then arises as to how to achieve a peaceful coexistence with Russia.

It's worth recognising that not all cultures and countries need or could survive western democracy. Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afganistan are good examples. Some countries need dictatorship for stability.

P.S. please do not confuse the above with me being a Putin fan or admirer. I am more a Angela Merkel or Bill Clinton admirer.
