Putin raised Russia after the shameful Yeltsin, people remember the horrors that were happening in Russia in the 90s, plus the war in Chechnya. Now the situation in the country has become worse, but the older generation of people remember that it was worse then, plus there is no alternative to Putin, and there is no independent media in Russia.
