Give me 20 years and give back your powerful Russia! Russia has become like this in the past 19 years. Is it getting better?

Give me 20 years and give you a strong Russia. This is the promise Putin made to the Russian people when he was elected president of Russia. Now that Putin's 20 years have passed 19 years, what about Russia now?

After Putin took office as president, he took many measures in favor of Russia. In order to sharpen the army and safeguard the unity of national territory, he launched an all-out war against Chechnya. Because of Putin's persistence and correct leadership, Russia won the Chechen war and forged an iron and blood army that obeyed the central command. This victory has also strengthened Russia's cohesion, and it can be said that the Chechen war is of great significance to Russia. And all this is because of Putin's support.

Putin has always safeguarded Russia's interests abroad. Even if the United States touches the interests of Russia, Putin will resolutely fight back. In the wars that supported Syria in previous years, we can see Putin's decisiveness and domineering. It is precisely because of Putin's domineering that he won the strong support of the domestic people.

Militarily, Russia is indeed stronger now. The nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles inherited from the Soviet Union have made no country in the world dare to look down on Russia. It is undeniable that Russia is indeed the second military power in the world. However, military strength has not brought good economic income to the Russian people, and Russia's economic situation has not been well improved. At present, one in five people in Russia can barely survive on income. Per capita GDP is unstable, and the market changes due to changes in international oil prices. Moreover, because of the economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the western countries led by the United States, many international investments have been withdrawn from Russia, which has led to a large-scale depreciation of the Russian ruble.

At present, Russia's main economic income still comes from arms export and oil trade. However, due to the economic sanctions of western countries, Russia's trade depends entirely on luck, and many small countries in need are afraid to trade with Russia. After the devaluation of the ruble, Russia's domestic economy suffered heavy losses, prices rose, and even the retirement wages of retirees were not paid, and even the pensions of Russian people were delayed for several years.

Russia's current economic depression is largely due to the fact that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia assumed a large part of the debts of the former Soviet Union, which was only paid off last year. It can be seen that there is such a situation in Russia, Putin has worked hard, and now Russia's economy is gradually recovering, much better than before 19. Just look at Ukraine, which also inherited most of the Soviet Union's heritage. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine had to live on the Soviet heritage, even to the point of selling Soviet weapons. Now I want to take refuge in NATO and hug the thighs of the United States. By contrast, Russia is much better under Putin.

It has been 19 years since Putin made a promise to the Russian people. Militarily, it is undeniable that Russia is so powerful that even the United States dare not underestimate Russia. Economically, Putin paid off all the debts of the former Soviet Union and the Russian economy was restored. So overall, Russia's development is still good. The Russian people also agree with this tough president.
