A couple of days ago I had this weird ‘Putin’ dream. Putin had invited me to stay in their luxurious palace in Moscow and there was everything and it was so nice and luxurious, things that I have never had. This dream was so real that in the morning I wondered if Putin had communicated with me during the night with some secret communication systems.

omg, you should have told him to give you some money, I guess he’s worth 4B, maybe it would just kind of manifest itself into reality.
somewhere I read few years ago that the government of Russia has 500 billion dollar reserves but I suppose they have spent a lot in these recent years protecting falling Ruble and other Russian economic sectors that have been hurt by these sanctions that the US and the EU have placed …
Imagine Putin being invited to a college in the US today, the way Gorbachev was,
and being honored for adhering to our principles, the arms supplies into Afghanistan,
the annihilation of the Ukraine,
the way they shut down free speech.
But the books of the history will write that Putin was the greatest President of the modern Russia, it has been now 17 years since Putin came to power and quite frankly I must say he has been able to make the economy of Russia to recover, in the summer of 1999 the economy of Russia was on its bottom.
ok, I read book Why the Poor Stay Poor, it’s lack of innovation and ideas,
they may have stolen our ideas of going to the moon,
if it did happen at all, a repressed country has to be taught skills they need
to think in new ways.
In my earlier years I was quite interested in Soviet/Russia’s economy, during Yeltsin oligarchs controlled Yeltsin and Russia’s economy, but when Putin came the situation is different, now Putin controls oligarchs, one of those Yeltsin oligarchs was Berezovsky who was then exiled to London by Putin and then few years ago he hang himself in his restroom in his mansion.

Thanks for the update on recent Russian history.
Just do like in the Nightmare on Elm Street films: grab the stuff as you’re waking up, to pull it into the real world. That’s how they often defeated Freddy Krueger. 
Some news from Russia …
‘More than 40 percent of Russian families struggle to find the money to buy food or clothes, a study by Moscow’s Higher School of Economics (HSE) revealed Wednesday.’

This means that 57 million people in Russia live in poverty …
Как дела? I also thought putin was in my brain before
Yes. We have lower levels of poverty in this country.
Я хорошо сегодня , somehow I feel that I have this intuitive connection to Putin.
It is quite weird, I started hearing voices on the voice of Putin in August 1999 in America when Putin came to power in Russia, I hear these voices sometimes, more recently in this summer I had a voice on his voice telling that Putin has chosen some people as their information sources, it is all so weird.
