"Ukraine? I takes it" ~Vladmir Putin
thumb|link=Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Russian: Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин, IPA: [vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪr vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪt͡ɕ ˈputʲɪn], Vlad the Impaler or "Pootie-Poot" born 7 October 1952) is an incredibly powerful and influential supervillain and the Supreme Eternal President of Russia, a position he has held since 7 May 2012. He previously served as President from 2000 to 2008, and as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. During that last stint (2008 to 2012) he was also the Chairman of the United Russia political party. He has no soul, and thus has to recruit and brainwash others to win in the Soul Wars.
In Russia, president elects himself. The strongest defeats the weak after a 90-day tournament of fighting, ending when the victor plants his flag and takes his oath atop the pile of his vanquished foes. Russian president Putin says he sees nothing wrong with the treaty with Nazi Germany that led to the carve-up of Poland - and blames Britain for it.
it is theorized that Putin is in fact a vampire, but also speculated that he is a Reptilian. These are mutually exclusive propositions.
Vladmir (a traditional vampire name) has been renowned for stamping out protestors, feminists, rockers, and anything else he dubs as icky (pronounced icksky in Russian), such as completely normal and natural homosexual love. It is impossible to know how many people he has personally murdered during his years as an assassin and officer for the KGB, or the untold thousands tortured, exiled to Siberia, buried alive, or sent to "sleep with the fishskies" out at Black sea.
It is unknown if he is a vampire, Reptilian, or possibly werewolf (but certainly not more than one of those), but it is certain that he is an evil Awesome!
His powers include; super-strength, superior agility and martial art fighting ability from many years of secret spy training, superhuman marksmanship, animalistic instincts and tracking abilities, and ruthless lust for power.
Many of the villainous characters and enemies from the James Bond movies have been based on Putin at various points in his life:
Vladimir Putin shoots Siberian tiger
conservation efforts
where these things are known to happen
It is hard to determine which of these stories of Vladmir Putin is even true, since Vladmir Putin has rewritten most history, including absolving Stalin initially signing a pact with Hitler before WWII.
or even post-Soviet Russia, but, hey, geopolitics, whatever...
Troll Factories[]
The inner workings of St Petersburg’s infamous “troll factory” have been exposed by Lyudmila Savchuk, a former employee, who was awarded symbolic damages of one rouble by a Russian court yesterday after suing her ex-boss for unfair dismissal.
Savchuk, a local activist who took a job at the factory for two months to expose the trolling operation, sued the company in charge, Internet Research, over back wages and the lack of employment documentation, forcing it out of the shadows and into court.
“I am very happy with this victory,” she said after the ruling. “I achieved my aim, which was to bring the internet trolls out of the shade. We have managed to prove that the trolls exist, which was the main goal.”
The centre of the internet trolling activity is 55 Savushkina Street, an unremarkable office building in a residential area of northern St Petersburg.
