Stanislav Kucher, a long-time former Russian TV host, explains the mindset of the Russian people after an independent pollster finds Russian President Vladimir Putin's approval rating to be over 80 percent.
This guy gave a very good perspective on the mindset of the Russian people, and gave a great insight on the other matters presented. I really hope to see him again and will be looking for him.
Hitler and Stalin had very good opinion polls too. It's odd that. 80% is just perfect, high enough to show overwhelming support but still appear there is some (unpopular) opposition. 90%+ would not be believed even by Russians.
When I was in Cuba, I waited to be alone in the middle of the ocean with the cool guy who was sailing us to the snorkeling spot, to ask him a simple question about their government. And even then, he said with a warm smile that he didn't want to talk about it, so I respected that, but it gave me an answer to one of my questions.
Wow! Just wow! I'm Russian and I know this guy. I mean I watched a lot of his TV programs in the past and he's very professional. I'm not surprised he had to move from Russia, because now there is no place for professionals like him. Beautiful interview and amazing English. Also he is so confident. Really great interview!
He is right ! The same thing in Vietnam , China and North Korea, you will never see any polls that are under 80 % to support the government or any politicians in that matter.
"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it." -- A Psychological Analysis of Adolph Hitler: His Life and Legend,” the 165-page document, which was initially classified “Secret,” was declassified in 1968 and published in book form in 1972."
