if Putin or any other politician wants to be part in fire fighting, he or she should put on a uniform grab a shovel or a hose and fight fires, ...flying high in the air is nothing more then a photo-up to promote himself.......Medved ev and Putin have starve the fire department of men/women power and equipment and now they are blaming everyone else but themselves.

if they would have acted a bit sooner this situation wouldn't be as bad as it is now .... i've had a conversation with a friend of mine who lives in moscow .... she said that some regions had no contract with the emergency services ... so when the fires started the emergency companies have just ignored them ... and now we have putin playing a super fireman lol ... that fat SOB luzhkov just came back from vacation ... the beauty of capitalism
