Don't have cash to buy some real estate? Worry not, because it is possible to take the home loans to resolve such kind of problems. Therefore get a short term loan to buy all you require.

President RasPutin? Ironically, the RT phrase 'officially back' sums it up. The US has a strict two-term policy. And, what a surprise, Mediaveldev is confirmed as his second in command, as he was all along.Regards, The Head of the US-Anglo-NATO-Zionis t-Masonic-Alien Conspiracy

Peter: who will benefit from orchestrating a trade war between Germany and Russia? I think we know who! Russia and Germany have lot in common. Germany is the #1 trading partner of Russia. Yes, we also know that Germany is not a free country and we do know that how much Germany is suffering under American geopolitical domination but Germany’s economic elite and even the silent majority are pro Russia and most are pro Putin- and that this is a fact. Now, there is nothing at all wrong with Putin using a German made car. I’ve a distinct feeling if Putin used an American made care the same people now attacking him for using German made car would have called him a liberal and open minded! However, Putin is at home with a German made car as he is with a Russian made car! Putin speaks perfect German so does his wife and according to public information his entire family are fluent in German. Also until recently or perhaps it id still the case the German language is popular in Russia. Many of Great Russian engineers and scientists were German origin and today many important political and eocnomic and scientific figures in Russia have German last name. This is not to deny the deep and historical tension between Russia and Germany but these issues are kept outside of the economic relations between the two countries. So everything about this event is perfect including the German cars! signed by the real New World Order –because I support a good relationship between Germany and Russia.

Thank you, RT, for uploading the video clip of Mr. Putin's inauguration ceremony with English interpretation! Now I have two versions of this big event (the other one is a HD recording in Russian). RT, you are doing a much, much better job than before, thanks a lot! It would be perfect if the clip quality were better.

I think many people are looking to Russia and Vladimir Putin to bring some sanity to the international situation. I wish him well for his presidency.

In Bulgaria, men are more respectful than in Russia. Look at Putin, he doesn't even kiss the hands of the ladies. What a disgraceful hooligan. There in Sofia we are educated in a better way. We kiss the hands of ladies and no lady has to be avoided while in the mission. What a pity, thought Putin was a gentleman, but he's just a Russian. So listen up, you pumpkins, the west is the key. We must live united in a new world order.

In Bulgaria we have a saying: "long live the country, because anyway time will change it." If Bulgaria wouldn't have ruled Russia for 3 centuries, there would be no slavic influence in Asia. We, the Bulgars did the right connections so that Russia is a big power today. Hence, the name Russia comes from Bulgarssa (ancient denomination for 'wise people'). Let the people know the truth. Nazdrave!

I wonder if the people of Russia know Putin spent £1.000.000 for this poor organised celebrati on. Not to say Berlusconi was reproducing in the toilet during Putin's speech. It is so funny. No people on the streets. Putin looks like a penguin. He's so small, thought he's way taller. He looks like a pigmy. Besides, he did not greet all guests. What a dissapointment. It is my last time I am watching this. Next time I hope Russia will become part of the UK.

@Russian --- Yes I realize my latest posting was immature and I apologize for it, I was just frustrated with so many of the comments here idolizing ex-KGB agent Putin like some superhero. And to answer your question.... The fact that Poles cannot freely travel in the USA without a visa is just bad news for the USA. If the Americans were smart, they would lift visa restrictions, but they choose to side with the Latinos instead. Quite frankly, the Poles have the EU without needing visas, as well as a flourishing domestic market to now stay in. And the fact that they allow Americans without visas is good for the economy, as well as it's good because Americans get to learn more about a county that most probably couldn't locate on a map.
