I have no problem with Putin telling the world...the biggest stumbling block to Russian exports is international ignorance of what Russia can do and make and achieve... they need to start talking about their successes... the west is quick enough to broadcast any failures or problems... Russia needs more balance.
But i do have problems with Putin ,trying to take credit for something that him is ABSOLUTELY not responsible for it. The Russian health professionals , microbiologist and engineers and scientist from 40 years or more , were all formed during the times of the soviet union ,with a far superior and stronger socialist education system ,that invested more in education than Russia today invest. Education was fully free from a to z, all the way to university ,and it was mandatatory to go to school , the government pushed very hard for educating their people. This is not what putin is doing . Take for example of the gamaleya institute ,all its founders ,including the maker of sputnik v ,were students of the Louis Pasteur , who is the father of modern microbiology and who is a world famous figure for being the inventor of many big important vaccines. This is not a small guy , this is major leagues scientist ,like an einstein of medicine and the soviet union made sure ,that his scientist also learned directly from him. So all this efforts of the soviet union ,paid big big dividends from 10 ,20 ,30 and 40 years later allowing the gamaleya institute to become a very successful research and development vaccine laboratory.
the biggest stumbling block to Russian exports is international ignorance
And who is to blame for that Garryb? The international community or the master idiot and populist in chief vladimir Putin ?
If you ever pay attention to russian international media ,which is the most important tool Russia have
to educate the world ,that media is used more to praise the image of putin , show him whenever he
throw a fart , whenever he eat , whenever he do exercises , RT is being used to a signigicant part to promote his image , and his popularity , but fails miserably in reporting the real important things , like to counter western propaganda whenever shows up and even fail in promoting Russian business many times. I personally never knew russia ever landed in the moon with probes ,even less mars or venus too ,never knew russia ever build a space shuttle or even less a moon manned rocket.. in school the only thing you get from the west , is that soviet union put in space the first man and first satelite in space and after that , they just quit from doing anything interesting and focus in just sending satellites to space.
So i only discovered the truth thanks to my personal research , using google and going to forums like this , and that was like a wow.. how bad is Russia in promoting their business and capabilities in in the world is unbelievable . But putin ,the only thing he promote is the military and his stupid hockey and sports , don't miss an opportunity to show whenever the russian military do any exercises, as if that could scared anyone at all.
After the massive failure of russian military hardware in armenian war ,that was completely dominated and his soldiers not even fighting murdered intentionally and putin doing nothing , it does the opposite and shows the world ,you can get away with bombing Russian military ,shooting down their aircraft and they will do nothing ,because the president of russia is very weak ,a coward and that is scared to confront those who fire missiles against them. None of those military exercises helps russia in any way ,to deter enemies if their president perception is one of a coward ,insecure and weak leader. Putin needs to stop promoting populism ,what north korea leader do all the time ,the worship of him , and use his media instead to save lives , and to constantly remind the world ,what NATO is doing in the conflicts they participate and last but not least , to promote the capabilities of their incredibly small but very capable domestic business industry and promote it to a global level . do what china is doing and compete with the west.
Take for example the spunik V vaccine.. for nearly 6 months , Russia government and media have been completely silent on the trial results of their vaccines . This is a big deal , to promote their vaccines is very important to save lives , but guess what? for very long time ,the lack of information
from Russia ,from their trials , in english language and spanish language ,and later published on major media outlets and major scientific magazines like THE LANCET. This allowed the liberals in the west to have a field day with the sputnik v vaccine.
-that it never passed phase 3 trials and was not proven to work.
-that it was dubious .
-that no major international health organization recognized it
- that no countries other than venezuela and cuba wanted it.
-that if the vaccine is so safe ,why putin don't vaccinate with it?
so the lack of information comming from Russia was abysmally bad in the west. It was a perfect example of how incompetent is The Russian government , his president and his media . The job of a president , one of his most important jobs is not only to unite his society behind him ,but also to promote their nation business in the world , and in the most important business of all , that russia have today , to promote his nation , as a much more than a gas station , their media ,their government ,their president failed miserably to inform the international community, something as simple of the results of their sputnik v trials.
and all the liberal left was having a field day ,in social media discrediting the spunik v vaccine ,even when not a single person died from it and was having major success. So bad it was the lack of information.. So mediocre is Putin in promoting
his country business.. that the Russian ambassador of mexico ,had to use twitter , to intervene and
defend the sputnik V vaccine , and counter directly those public popular figures in the west .
basically all the pro west ,pro nato politicians in mexico and argentina ,bolivia ,and everywhere was doing public sabotage to the russian vaccine for months ,in the same countries ,the sputnik vaccine was being started to use. and this required the intervention of russian ambassador of mexico ,to counter what one mexico senator was claiming in the media. that it was not safe , not proven to work and dangerous to use.
in spanish the controversy.. raised against sputnik v ,by mexican top senators.

to this date GARRYB not a single russian media in spanish have come in defense of sputnik vaccine
to counter that senator arguments.. and it had to be the ambassador of russia in mexico to use american social media ,twitter to come on its defenses.. so what's going on with russian media ? and putin government?
all the arguments against sputnik v in latin america , ended ,you know when?
when the british magazine the lancet ,reported a couple of days ago ,the intermediary trials of of the sputnik v phase 3 ..
So it was a british magazine who had to come to the rescue ,while russian media either english or spanish was totally absent from reporting the official results of the phase 3 trials.
So this is a very huge problem , the Putin's government have. They are a disaster in promoting their nation ,their business and their image , what putin does is promote russia negatively , with his endless military (useless exercises) that don't deter anyone , and promote the image of putin.
is not putin image what needs to be promoted ,but russian business instead. And if the polite idiot president ,had as much promotion for sputnik ,in the west ,as he had for his own personal image ,the controversy will have never happened , and russian media will have released the reports of the sputnik 3 phase 3 trials and not depend on a british magazine to do it.
i could go on forever ,show you tons of examples of the incompetence of russian media RT and its infiltrated 5th column there ,the journalist working there ,that sabotage the media from the inside ,but that will be too long , for this discussion . The end of story ,putin is a highly incompetent president ,he is not only bad in the true development of russia , but also highly incompetent too advertising the things , the few business they have that could benefit the world.
what i will have done ,being on putin's position , will have recruited people to fully monitor all social western media and report directly every day to the president for any important fake news controversy raised against the government or russian business . today the biggest sabotage to the sputnik vaccine comes from social bloggers ,and pro west politicians that use them . Because mexico was not approving the sputnik vaccine for example for not having documented information of phase 3 trials ,that they could show to their scientific community
neither for the sputnik vaccine having any promotion from any recognized international institution or international magazine in medicine. and it was not until The Lancet , a british scientist mag ,that is very recognized world wide ,that publish the intermediary phase 3 trials in english ,that mexico announce the approbal of sputnik vaccine. Putin forgot that not many presidents in the democratic latin america west ,could risk using a vaccine with the recommendation alone of putin , because if something bad happen ,he will lose his position as president and will be blamed for any deaths by sputnik vaccine and so they need something ,much more reliable than putin's words ,that the vaccine was good ,like the recognition of a major scientific organization first or at least recognition of major international medicine magazine or nobel price winners in microbiology . Putin's Russia showed how incompetent is his administration in promoting the business capabilities russia have in the west.
The sputnik v vaccine did not gained better momentum earlier in latin america ,for the lack of information the russia government was providing to them of phase 3 trials ,that still goes on and will last 2 years at least.
