Putin came into power as many problems in Russia were growing. The ruble was devalued since 1998 which made it crucial for demand of domestic goods. Putin was popular but only due to the bad leaders that were before him. The country needed to cut its foreign debts. Many believe that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the wrong choice. They believe that they are the same as they were before the fall. They have had many problems with losing ties with the west and becoming a democracy. Especially under Putin he said that the average Russian gained little from the switch from the Soviet Union.
