The devastating (economic) balance sheet of Vladimir Putin Page 2/2 Life expectancy of Russians is low Low life expectancy
Russian men die early - very early. They now don't even have a life expectancy of 65 years, and as a rule they would not even be able to benefit from the German pension. This is largely due to the fact that Russian men in particular (the life expectancy of women is significantly higher) live legendarily unhealthy - they smoke a lot, drink even more, they eat poorly. But economists and researchers also see a connection to the poor development of the economy. The fact that the number of suicides among Russian men is high may also have something to do with the lack of economic prospects. Putin is more powerful than Trump and Merkel.
Distrust of market economy Given such developments and figures, a certain nostalgia for the Soviet era among the Russian population is hardly surprising. A survey by the Levada Institute has shown that more than half of those questioned consider “state planning” to be a preferred economic model. On the other hand, only around one in four Russian citizens consider the market economy - and private property - to be a blessing. Runs for Putin
On the other hand, there is one person who should vehemently defend the institution of private property, because reliable reports show that he has amassed a lot of it: President Vladimir Putin. Bill Bowder, an American hedge fund founder who was very active in Russia and knows the country's wealth structure well, has just put a staggering figure in a CNN interview: $ 200 billion. Bowder estimated Putin's fortune at this amount. This would make the Russian president not only the richest man in Russia, but also in the whole world - far ahead of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who, as the richest private person, has a measly fortune of around 80 billion dollars.
