...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...said, adding the ever-growing types of genders may somehow be confusing.

Russia has "very relaxed attitude towards the LGBT community, we aren’t biased against them," but the minority must not aggressively disseminate its views among minors who may not be able to decide on their own, he told news hounds.
"Let’s give children an opportunity to grow up and decide afterwards who they want to be. Leave them alone," Putin urged.
