Among the critics of President Ilham Aliyev, there are many fans of Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It is clear that a significant part of society still believes in the "fairy tale of the good king."
According to Rosstat, every fourth child in Russia, or rather 23.6 percent of all children under the age of 18, lives in a family with an income below the subsistence level. This means that every fourth child in Russia lives in poverty. Independent experts believe that every second child in Russia lives in poverty.
Russia received $ 7 trillion between 2000 and 2018, according to Russian officials. Given that Russia has received at least $ 500 billion over the past three years, it is clear that over the 21 years of Putin’s authoritarian rule, Russia received $ 7.5 trillion. On the contrary, every fourth child in Russia, according to official figures, and every second, according to independent experts, live in poverty. This example of Russia shows that society should not believe the tale of a good tsar. People should demand justice, not mercy. Mercy is for individuals, and justice is for everyone.
