Where is Poutine ?

Where is Porky? Hiding in the toilet to escape from the hired goons of Ihor Kolomoyskyi?

With inflation nearing triple digits (within an year!) and Hryvnia losing as much as 70% of its value, the only option left for Western Ukrainians like you is to mass-migrate to some other country in search of livelihood. The EU will not welcome them. The only option left is Russia.  Grin

Yes, I know. The problem is that people are confusing Stalin-the-icon (a symbol of relative prosperity/stability, low corruption and criminality, and of respect on international arena) and Stalin-the-person (a ruthless authoritarian, who infamously proclaimed that deaths of a million people is just a static). In those polls it is the former concept that is winning, especially when present Russia's international status and social turmoil are set as a contrast.

Hmm... Those people who suffered terribly during the reign of the drunkard Yelstin might consider Stalin to be a hero. To tell the truth, Stalin murdered far fewer people when compared to Yeltsin.
