In a bullish state-of-the-nation address in Moscow on Wednesday, Mr Putin promised to smite corruption, create millions of new jobs and boost Russias military might while warning that foreign meddling in the countrys internal affairs was unacceptable.
He claimed the country shared universal democratic values, adding: Russian democracy is the power of the Russian people with their own traditions of national self-government, and not the realisation of standards foisted on us from outside.
In characteristic rhetoric, Mr Putin also addressed internal as well as external enemies while suggesting a link between the two, saying that chinovniki (state officials) often seen as corrupt caste bent on self-enrichment should be prevented from keeping their money abroad.
What trust can there be in a chinovnik or a politician who says big things about the welfare of Russia while trying to take his means, his money abroad? he asked MPs and senior officials. I ask you to support legislation to limit the rights of state officials and politicians to foreign bank accounts and shares.
He added: Direct or indirect external interference in our internal political processes is unacceptable. Any person who receives money from abroad for his or her political activity and by doing so serves alien national interests, cannot be a politician in Russia.

WOW, what next, Lebensborn?
Russian women will only have three kids? What underachievers.
I have four. (-:
PUTIN 2016!........
As does Al "LaPoop" Sharpton and Jessie “the lip” Jackson.
SO there Putin, the muslims & Free Loaders will still out number ya. lol
Actually it makes sense for Russians to have 3 babies
it would be nice if GOOD Americans who can afford it would have 4 or 5.
:p
(A shame nothing in the excerpt supports the headline, but I digress first)
Formerly American values in Russia:
“Current birth rates show an average of 1.7 children are born to each Russian woman, but the president urged a huge leap in family-building.”
This would get booed at the DNC convention.
And it might mean fewer abortion mill “customers”.
American birth rate isn’t that high anymore. It’s 1.89 per woman now.
“American birth rate isnt that high anymore. Its 1.89 per woman now.”
Yes, that’s why the leftist freaks need so many immigrant voters, because they kill off so many of their own.
Sorry, but it takes some gonads to tell the babes to start putting out. We are WELL BEYOND that, and therefor will have our society collapse.
Moscow will take your breath away. There simply isn't anyplace on Earth like that, except maybe Dnepropetrovsk, in the Ukraine. Or St. Petersburg...or Archangelsk...or Nizhny Novogorod...or...or...just about any major Russian city.
People in the modern "diverse" West really have no idea.
“This would get booed at the DNC convention.”
Not at all; families would be required to send money to our wlefare population and some of their children to the homosexuals who can’t make their own. White homos probably realize that everyone knows they didn’t make the Red Chinese daughter they bought.
“if you think that’s what Russian women look like, you’re about 2 centuries out.”
A friend of mine had a Ukrainian mail-order bride. It was absolutely creepy how detached he was as he talked about the approaching end of her 5-year indentured servant skit; she would be legal here, and they both were moving on to other people. He said it was great while it lasted, but it was understood that this was how it would work out...
Just sittin’ here thinking of some of the pics I’ve seen of the babes in the Russian Army. Mmmm ... :)

Someone should just tell them that in the U.S., illegals have more rights then Americans and not to worry about little things like immigration laws. They can always get a job dancing in some club in L.A. while they look for a guy they actually might want to marry...
But seriously, I know a Russian emigre who married an American guy and she is not just beautiful, but speaks perfect unaccented English after 15 years in the U.S., raises her kids to be polite but competitive, augmented her Russian education with a degree here in the U.S., and is generally one of the best people we have in our community.
There are some success stories. But the real point is that far from the stereotype of the Babuschka in Boots, modern Russian women are incredibly good looking and dress to flaunt it. The Communists killed as much of that attitude as they could (Socialists always hate flamboyant people having fun), but once Communism collapsed, the Russian girls headed for the dress shop...and the beauty shop...the perfume store...
They're like that. Unapolegetically so.
Oh, I knew the picture of the Russian grandmother wasn’t from match.com; I’m sure the poster did, too. I’d imagine the Russian immigrants here are just like every other immigrant group: some good, some bad, some attractive, and some ugly.
