Hated all over? Really? I don’t think so. That’s a pretty extreme judgement. If that is the case than he’s a full blown Dictator. Would you say then that Putin is a full blown dictator? Perhaps on his way, maybe.
I do believe these polls are independent, no reason for them not to be. I did not call the election fair. But still, I’m certain he won 'cause he managed to prevent any real opposition from running. I still believe that if Russians hated him as you say, they still have the ability to get rid of him. He’s not dictator yet. Russians just want stuff and a vacation to somewhere sunny once a year. With Putin they get that. Hurray!
