Putin's World

 

Putin lives in Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales.

Most things in Russia are made as a Potemkin Village (Russian: потёмкинские деревни) and has for Centuries. That’s when the outside looks tough or good, but just below the surface it is weak, moldy, falling apart or not even finished.

Russia’s Modern Military is a Potemkin Village (you know it’s bad when 7 months into a War you planned and started you have lost most of your Regular Military and have to Mobilize the very Young, the very Old and the Disabled to save face.)

That is on top of Russia having to use weapons from the 1940s -1980s.

That is on top of Russia using World War 1 Trench Warfare Tactics instead of Modern Warfare Tactics.

Many other things across Russia are Potemkin Villages: Their Apartment Buildings (most- Khrushchevka or Russian: хрущёвка -  were built from the 1960s (that’s why they are named after Nikita Khrushchev) until the 1980s and were pre-fab, low cost dwellings meant to only last 20 years at the most, but the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 (32 years ago) and they are still the most widely lived in dwellings across Russia meaning they are falling down and deteriorating since the oldest ones are 62 years old and the youngest ones are 32 years old and they were only meant to last 20 years.

I wish Putin and Russia would wake up from their Fairy Tale and realize the reality (War Crimes, Mass Murder) they are committing on innocent Ukrainian Men, Women and Children.
