minister let s take a look. there s never been a tradition in russia the power of voluntarily 1st several hundreds of years ours ruled until this year so the traditions are. new. we have jobs. freeze on the rise the army. what else do we need. i quite like and i think the stability is a good thing as of today i don t see if it replacement for. stability has really been at the core of flooding here putin s popularity but now the economic situation in russia is far from rosy and his popularity has taken a bit of a hit there is rising dissatisfaction across the country which you can see in various protests about garbage dumps in the north of the country and as well in
also against a plan to garbage dumps for example in the north of the country and there have been these recent protests for the last month or so in moscow for the registration of independent candidates to the moscow duma elections there does seem to be a growing sense of dissatisfaction here in russia especially with the economic situation and putin in the last few months and even since the beginning of his last term has kind of been trying to shift his focus away from the international stage to really get to grips with those domestic issues that used to w. s emily show and from moscow assessing 20 years. here watching the news coming up ahead recreating one of them was recognizing album combos in music history the report from abbey road 50 years off the top traffic there. but 1st when this over the hugely damaging environmental impact of single use
