If 74 million US dupes think the sniveling moron Trump is their savior, and 13 million brain-dead Brits thought Brexit was a good idea merely because they'd been fed two vacuous soundbites, we can hardly be surprised that the vast majority of Russians, who receive only Kremlin-controlled "news" think Putin is their saviour. Ordinary people are basically ignorant fools who believe anything and everything they are told by purported authority figures. We can't, therefore, be surprised when only a tiny fraction of the Russian population has sufficient intellect and sufficient information to know Kremlin babble is a pile of mental excrement. Sadly, there seem too few in the West capable of equal discernment.
