New article

[edit]

I've just created this article using material from the Vladimir Putin article. Accordingly, I'll shorten the corresponding section of that article so that it summarizes this article.Anythingyouwant (talk) 20:42, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP style - criticism section

[edit]

As a matter of style one would expect a clear position in the TOC for a section dealing with criticism, which is a major component of this person's public relations repertoire.Wikidgood (talk) 06:43, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

putin's asperger syndrome

[edit]

IMO this speculation violates WP:BLP. It is an inconclusive controversial opinion originated from clearly non-neutral source (pentagon). Please remember that extraordinaly claims require extraordinary proofs. So far we have basically single source copied by some media. We no'd have independent evaluation of the validity of the claim. -M.Altenmann >t 16:28, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's this, Newsy: Pentagon Report Suggested Putin Has Asperger's, it analyzes different sources. There's only one originating study, as you're saying; and I'm aware not to use Wikipedia's voice. I'm not going to include any mention of autism in the article, unless there becomes a very convincing reason, or at least not any time soon. - Sidelight12 Talk 03:10, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
While there is indeed lots of fuss on the issue right not, but the first take was definitely shitty and wikipedia in not newspaper to chase sensations. More balanced news appear now, such as "Pentagon thinktank claims Putin has Asperger's – has Putinology gone too far?", which mentions that the authors of the report are not available for comment now. And the report itself is not published, so that wikipedians cannot double-check how much paparazzi hype was pumped out. I think in 2-3 days, when the dust starts settling, something reasonable may be written into wikipedia. Of course, there will be nothing special to write that somebody decided to portray Putin as a retard; after all we have a whole "Putin khuilo" page, but it is unclear now whether this is just a piece of trivia of will have some social impact. We know Pentagon wasted lots of money on various kranky things, starting from parapsychology. -M.Altenmann >t 04:40, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Whatever. As I see it is already in Talk:Vladimir Putin page. -M.Altenmann >t 04:49, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed addition

[edit]

Putin enjoys high levels of support both inside and outside Russia's hemisphere of influence The refs cited do not support this broad statement. Please double-check. - üser:Altenmann >t 07:39, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Did Putin only sing "Blueberry Hill", or accompany himself on the piano too?

[edit]

I see that this article states that Putin sang "Blueberry Hill" at a charity event and accompanied himself on the piano; yet a YouTube video, seemingly of this performance, shows him only singing, and holding a microphone - so the reference to the piano would seem to be incorrect. (The main Putin article also made this claim, and I corrected it a while ago.)

However, is it possible that he performed it twice? - once as shown on the YouTube video, singing only, and again (not in the video) also playing the piano. Is he known to have piano playing ability?

I'm wondering if I should change this, as I did the main article. But maybe (I've belatedly thought) he could have performed it twice - once also playing the piano. Does anyone know? M.J.E. (talk) 17:00, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Substantial revising of "Public Image" section

[edit]

This section has a pro-Putin angle and the content described is not notable. Readers do not need to know, for example, about Putin's supposed "macho prowess" or his being voted as "Russia's Most Handsome Man". This section reads like propaganda: filled with unnecessary details such as the aforementioned ones. It does not represent the actual public perceptions of Putin, especially given controversies concerning his involvement in interference regarding the 2016 and 2020 United States Presidential elections.

This section would be better served by including more up-to-date and reliable information about the subject. Eatmorepies (talk) 21:50, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 2 March 2022 This whole page should be eliminated. It reads as a pro-Putin propaganda article.

[edit]

Eliminate this page. It is shameless propaganda. 139.47.42.156 (talk) 20:32, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. WP:AFD ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:37, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs more on Putin's well-known admiration for Stalin and systematic promotion of Stalin's idealized memory

[edit]

This is well documented and should not be difficult to source and reference.

Short description shortness 🎣

[edit]

Repeated words, already in the title, now changed to more descriptive wording. ToniTurunen (talk) 17:20, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Updates needed

[edit]

This article does not seem to have been substantially updated following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, an event that surely changed Putin's public image, for better or worse. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the International section of this article is a joke. Recent polling shows international opinion of Putin is the opposite of what is portrayed here. From: "Ratings for Russia drop to record lows": "Confidence in Putin reaches a 20-year low in most countries". It doesn't seem like that part of the article is written in good faith and is instead written to boost Putin despite the reality. M4bwav (talk) 16:10, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"It sunk"

[edit]

There is a speculation, which feels plausible, the famous phrase was actually a reference to James Bond novel, which American host was expected to recognize. However millions that watched this interview in Russia and internationally did not knew American spy fiction by heart and the sad dry joke, if it was, completely flopped.
