On a more positive note - this is what I'm reading on Tzarev's page on FB now ( hilarious, really.)

The head of SBU ( Ukrainian secret service) Nalivaichnko has been caught recording Poroshenko and passing the tapes with received information to American embassy.
In the light of which president Poroshenko issued two decrees;
1. Dismissal of Nalivaichenko as the head of SBU
2. Nalivaichenko is appointed as Ukrainian Ambassador to the US.

Rotflmao if it's true.

So, when Putin is forced to finance state owned companies such a Rosneft, it is actually a matter of divine intervention? God works in mysterious ways.

If there was a god doing divine interventions, he would've capped Stalin in 1944 at the latest.

It might be a case, but he was quite successful at expanding and reinforcing the might of Russian state.
It's not like history didn't know the ruthless rulers before him; what counts in this case, is whether they've managed to maintain the power of their states or not.
