Russian Pres Vladimir V Putin orders destruction of hundreds of tons of comestibles, from cheese to meat and fruit, that entered country in violation of ban on European imports of food; prohibition was established in response to sanctions imposed by West for Russian action in Ukraine.
So better to destroy food than hand it out FREE to those that need it? Real care for the people shown in that sample.

Russian Pres Vladimir V Putin says to reporters at meeting of Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS group of rising economic powers that punitive financial and economic sanctions should no longer be used against any country in world; Russia has suffered from sanctions for its activities in Ukraine, and Putin calls for end to similar measure used against Iran.
Yup and he really meant it.*deep sarcasm* See reference to Aug 7th, 2015
JULY 9, 2015
Twenty years after the massacre of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica, Russia has shamefully refused to call it what it is — genocide — adding to the pain of the victims’ families.
On Wednesday, the government of President Vladimir Putin of Russia vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning the killings as genocide.
Awwww How nice Putin took lessons from Soviet history. Stalin denied 30,000 kulaks were killed directly, mostly shot on the spot. About 2 million were forcibly deported to the Far North and Siberia. he destruction of the kulak class triggered the Ukrainian famine, during which 3 million to 5 million peasants died of starvation the Holodomor (The Ukrainian Famine) as well.
There are a number of issues with Putin, spanning from his rise to power, to his actions to suppress dissent inside of Russia, to his actions internationally.
The first thing many westerners see with Putin is how he come into power. Originally, he wasn't elected. Former President Boris Yeltsin selected Putin to become his successor. Boris Yeltsin saw that Vladimir Putin became the Prime Minister, putting him second in line for the Presidency, announcing he wanted Putin to be his successor. Then he resigned, making Putin acting President. This gave Putin a big advantage in the election, which he won in the first wrong.
(i)Immediately, Putin began to suppress dissent. Those who disagreed with him often found themselves in jail. After disagreeing with Putin over the future of Russian civil society, Boris Berezovsky, who had created a larger media empire, had his media empire seized by Putin's government. This is a single example of widespread suppression. Many continued to love Putin, as he improved the Russian economy and seemed to take a strong stance against the west, but many did not. Like the Chechens.
In the Caucuses, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan had all received independence from Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Chechens felt that Chechnya, too, deserved independence. Ahead of the 2004 elections, terrorist attacks in Moscow. Putin blamed the attack on Wahhabists in Chechnya. He invaded, waging a brutal war and installing a puppet in the region. There were egregious human rights violations perpetrated by both sides. Approximately 5,000 Chechens disappeared, 25,000 civilians were been killed. While this may seem innocuous at first,
(ii)many claim that Russia itself attacked Moscow so Putin could invade Chechnya. Putin was worried about the 2004 elections, some claimed, and intended to garner support for his party by showing strength against Chechen rebels.
Following his re-election, Vladimir Putin only became more brazen.
Gazprom, the state owned gas enterprise, seized their competitor, Yukos, after arresting its CEO on clearly politically motivated charges. Yukos's CEO, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, was a critic of Putin's Russia. The acquisition of Yukos by Gazprom gave Gazprom an effective monopoly on gas and oil in Russia.
(iii)Following this was the assassination of Alexander Litvinenko who had fled Russia after stating that their had been plans to assassinate Boris Berezovsky, who you remember from earlier. Litvinenko had been poisoned a Uranium dart and blamed Putin for his own death.
(iv)During this time, Putin also made two obvious land grabs in Moldova and Georgia. In Transdniester, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia, Putin intervened against smaller nations and occupied the territories. To this day, they remain occupied.
(v)The Russian Constitution said that no man can serve more than two consecutive terms, so in 2008 Putin, a true patriot, did not seek reelection to the office. He announced his friend, Dmitry Medvedev, was his preferred successor. But Medvedev was a puppet. Putin was made Prime Minister and together they changed the Constitution. The regional governors would now be appointed by the President. The governors appointed members to the upper house of the legislator, so this house of the legislator would forever be loyal to the President. They then changed the term of the President to 6 years, starting with the 2012 term.
Then, in 2012, Putin ran again. The constitution said two consecutive terms, he argued, and this was not consecutive. In an election many accused of fraud, he won.
The rest is much more modern history, such as supporting oppressive regimes like Bashir al-Assad in Syria or Yanukovych's regime in Ukraine. He's continued to arrest and assassinate those who disagree with him or accuse him of corruption. He's supported the Ukrainian rebels. He annexed Crimea in a clearly fraudulent vote. He continues to govern by beating those who disagree with him into submission. These are most of the larger complaints against Vladimir Putin, but there are many more.
(i) His hero, Stalin, would have disappeared them.
(ii) Not the first time this tactic would have been used. Sudetenland ring a bell?
(iii) Hmmmm familiar technique of the KGB. Putin was KGB in Dresden, part of East Germany at the time he was KGB.
(iv) Another lesson from not too distant history. Anshluss and other 'necessary occupations'.
(v) Now that's how you make sure you stay in power. Kill off opponents and make sure that the law gives you the right to stay in power.
Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc would all be proud of Putin.
As to the corruption in Russia under Putin ....... look at Sochi.
The dark side of Vladimir Putin's Winter Olympic Games
Corruption, environmental damage and, absurdly, no snow. Neil Tweedie reports from Sochi on the vanity project crippling Russia
Simply because Putin controls / is part of the corruption does not equate his getting rid of corruption.
