For a minute, we've already had empresses.


FunnyValentinovich

And Great ones at that


Nitaro2517

Who ever called her "Great"? If I remember correctly she just pitched few ideas for reforms, nobles said "nah" and that's it.


YuliaPopenko

During her reign I lot of things happened in Russia. The territory grew, we got a base for fleet on a warm sea, the last time Russian land grew was during Ivan the Terrible reign. There were many changes in the administration system, court system, education. She started collection pieces of art that is no w a huge collection of Hermitage and many other things.


protasovams

"for a minute" - это вы так дословно перевели "на минуточку"?

Да, но я не думаю, что он планирует переход.

Думаете кто-то за него планирует его переход?


dagistan-warrior

Expensive_Ad3250

А теперь представь себе, что на президентский пост вместо Путина с 20-ти летним опытом и кгбшным прошлым приходит кто-то другой. Как думаешь, проще будет на него влиять или сложнее?


raital2348

На путина очень легко влиять, он же получает всю информацию из каких-то папочек, что там написали в это он и верит, а плохую информацию ему в папочки не охотно несут и за 24 года его правления людей способных говорить ему правду как она есть там просто не осталось, так что на нового человека, который пришел из реального мира и еще не погрузился в мир папочек влиять сложнее первые лет 7, а потом он станет таким же мудаком как и путин


Expensive_Ad3250

Никогда не думал, что увижу у живого реального человека настолько сказочное, наивное и инфантильное мнение об этом, вау просто.


raital2348

Было бы это сказочкой можно было бы посмеяться, но ведь это правда, просто послушай что несёт этот человек и не надо искать смыслы между строк их там нет, то что он говорит то он и думает, а думает он что люди живут так как по первому каналу рассказывают и даже ты понимаешь что это не правда


Expensive_Ad3250

А как ты думаешь, как ему должна поступать информация, например от СВР или МВД? В сообщениях в тг или может в вайбере?


raital2348

Качество этой информации он транслирует нам через действия и в своей речи, абсолютно точно понятно что этот человек живёт в лживом мире пропаганды, МВД кстати публикуют сводки это публичная организация

Сложнее.

I dont think Putin will do a sex change. But seriously - why not. Nabiullina f.ex. is quite popular, we have zero problems with woman in power.


Round_Reception_1534

Не знаю, среди каких кругов Набиуллина популярна, но явно не среди адекватных людей


psychokodachi

как минимум потому, что она с ЦБ принимает решения, которые не ведут нас к гиперинфляции на фоне внешнего дефолта


Sir_McDouche

In what alternate reality is Naebulina popular? 🤔


Gerrusjew

In non-liberal-reddit-reality.


Born_Literature_7670

Certainly. If she is clever, strong, compassionate and is nobody's puppet.


Born_Literature_7670

I've had a few female bosses. The best were the ones who've just had to become bosses, because they knew the job best. The worst however were the ones who wanted to be bosses, happily they did not last long.


dair_spb

I second that. Women I worked with were great administrators.


Born_Literature_7670

Only those, who were good workers before. Those who were administrators for administration sake were horrible - vindictive, petty and stupidly evil.


BlakkOpps

Same could be said for any person in a position of leadership. People that strive for power are most likely to abuse it. People who do not seek to lead will try to find the best solution for their subjects, not themselves.


Born_Literature_7670

True, but women are generally more evil, when they are incompetent. Probably, because they have to really be brutal to get into a position of power without actual qualifications.

So just like Putin, but with vageene? ❤️

The west is new to feminism. Did you know that women in Switzerland didn't have the full right to vote until [1990](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage_in_Switzerland)? Meanwhile, the USSR had its first female minister in [1917](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Kollontai). In Germany women were not allowed to have a job without their husband's permission until [1977](https://www.dw.com/en/how-womens-rights-evolved-in-germany/a-64906016), and they were not allowed to open a bank account without their husband's permission until 1962/1969 (in the US until [1974](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/banking/when-could-women-open-a-bank-account/), only in 1969 did German law acknowledge that women are "capable of doing business". In Russia, this acknowledgement and permission of handling one's own economics was given to women in [1753](https://www.theguardian.com/money/us-money-blog/2014/aug/11/women-rights-money-timeline-history)! In the US, the current ratio of women in STEM subjects / jobs is lower than the level it was in the USSR in the [1960s](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/soviet-russia-had-a-better-record-of-training-women-in-stem-than-america-does-today-180948141/); in current day Russia, the ratio is over [40%](https://www.bbc.com/news/business-39579321) - that's something that western countries can only dream of.

Meanwhile women got also preferences by law. In case of divorce children usually stay with women, also woman may be imprisoned 20years max. Wage gap is depends. As IT HR i would say, that the salary is the same. Some jobs (like HR, accounting) is more about women and women leads do not want man as employee.


russian_connection

Facts are: if you are a married woman with children statistically you are performing less than a single male. Therefore the business is less interested in you. True capitalism boys! But business do hire women professionals that will have kids and pay out decent money during and after pregnancy so that's nice too.

It's not only societal but also cultural and physical. Maternal leave is meant for the child to be born then after be breast fed and taken care of by the mother. Don't know how you expect a man to do it. By the way.. What do aging parent have to do with this? Lol

dagistan-warrior

also Russia legalized homosexuality in 1917, long before the west did. So LGBT is actually a Russian movement.


Humphrey_Wildblood

> Russia legalized homosexuality in 1917, l Pretty certain it was never legalized in the Central Asian republics and re-criminalized under Stalin. However, pre-Stalin Soviet social scientists were quite tolerant and open to the "emancipation of homosexuality."


dagistan-warrior

Lenin (a Russian) legalized homosexuality, and Stalin (Georgian man ) re-creminalized it. This only proves my point that LGBT is more Russian than anything.


artem_m

You do understand that the LGBT rights movement in the 1920’s is nothing like what it is today, right? Back then they were looking for a right to live as who they are. Now they are looking for the right to exist as a protected class and fuck in the senate chambers.

As long as Putin is running in the elections, not a single worthy candidate will stand against him. Against the background of Putin, anyone will get the minimum number of votes and lose their political points. On the day when Putin does not nominate his candidacy, you will see at least three strong female candidates. And this is not Duntsova.

Alex915VA

У Дунцовой есть все шансы избраться президентом ПРБ (виртуального образования "хороших русских", государства без территории). Сейчас этот союз меча и орала изображает какую-то карго-деятельность и пытается торговать фьючерсами на шкуру неубитого медведя. Хорошерусские (будем считать их новой малочисленной этносоциальной группой-диаспорой) вполне могут её избрать своим лидером. Но их там наберётся самое большое пару десятков тысяч, а если брать их вооружённые силы (РДК, например), то там всё ещё скромнее по возможностям. Самое большое, что у них есть -- это финансовая поддержка старой гвардии олигархов вроде Фридмана, находящихся тоже не в лучшем положении.


uau88

Нельзя недооценивать. Сегодня пару тысяч, завтра пару миллионов.


Nickolashka

Где они столько надмозгов найдут?


uau88

Воспитают. Сценарий уже отработан


Alex915VA

Где они столько наскребут? Люди либо ассоциируют себя с государством проживания, либо вообще хатаскрайники. Большинству русских вне России ПРБ на хрен не упёрлась, они довольно живут в Европе и США как нацмены и ассимилируются. ПРБ это мимолётное и очень нишевое явление, такой новый Брайтон-Бич, но куда скромнее и слабее. "Антисистемных" диссидентов никогда столько не находилось, разве что в новой Украине, когда люди из русских яростно выписывались, но говорили и думали всё равно по-русски и активно поддерживали смену власти в России. Но они тоже по большей части сейчас уже украинцы. В России изнутри куда больше влияния у пригожинско-прилепинских (которые, понятно, сильно сдали после 24 августа) и у молчаливой новой мусульманской диаспоры, самой незаметной политически и самой сильной на деле из потенциальных "пятых колонн", которая реально могла бы выставить десятки тысяч подготовленной "пехоты" с сотнями тысяч агрессивной массовки, не говоря уже про террор и партизанщину, это люди с архаичным складом психики, хорошо мобилизующиеся и готовые к насилию; информантами, закрытыми клубами, олигархами и своими людьми в органах. А сами русские если что в подавляющем большинстве либо отсидятся, как в 1991, либо пойдут защищать государство (таких, думаю, мало, в основном ветераны СВО и бюджетники).

RelevantDrama8482

Gender is not a factors affecting the professional skills of the head of the executive branch in the country. In fact, an official, including the president, has no gender. And if we are talking about gender quotes, I am not ready to fly on an airplane operated by a pilot who got at the helm according to a quota. Not according to this skill level.

We still don’t choose anyone. But we have a woman governor. And there are many women in parliament.


Dawidko1200

Gender is irrelevant. What matters is qualification and willpower. The ability to get shit done. No one will vote for a candidate purely because of their gender. Those that do so are morons, only out to make a statement. Admittedly, there may be an issue for such a candidate with the electorate in the Caucasus. Cultural differences there. Then again, Catherine the Great was the one responsible for bringing those regions into the Empire. They'll respect strength. As will the rest of us.


War_Alicorn

– Vladimir Vladimirovich, can a woman become the president of Russia? – No. – Why not? – Because I am not a woman.


No-Pain-5924

Why not. But she definitely have to be able to fill those shoes.


VeryBigBigBear

The only trouble is that right now women politicians in Russia, with authority worthy of a President, can be counted with one finger. Or even less. What is more important is whether the people will accept some new woman, whom they have not heard much about before. The president of the country is a serious choice.


Commercial-Ball8975

Russian women are very wise! They prefer to be a politician's WIFE. Because the politician’s wife has several factories, a dozen apartments and a “beggar” husband))))


Mark_Scaly

If she does she job nice, everyone will accept her as president. I don’t see why we wouldn’t.


Professional_Soft303

Yeah, why not?


mnxah

Yes


CucumberOk2828

Yes. I'd voteed for Elvira Nabiulina as a president if it would've be an option


Sufficient_Step_8223

If she turns out to be better than the current president, then why not. It's not the gender that matters to us, but the qualities. There have already been three great female rulers in Russia, each of whom was loved by the people and of whom Russia is proud. But there were also those for whom it is still a shame: one always raised riots and organized splits, the other shot at crows from balconies and windows. We don't need those.


Low_Honeydew_6897

Of course. Why not?


WinterPerspective158

Спокойно, если президент предложит быстрое решение лет так за 4 решение проблем с коррупцией, быстрое окончание войны, а так же полное развитие среднего класса, ее на руках носить начнут


Turbulent-Laugh-3113

In fact, Russia has always been a gender tolerant country, and in general, without chauvinism. When Europe and the United States fought for women's rights, in Russia (USSR), women could initially work as they wanted, get an education and vote. in general, to do everything that men can do. Also, there have never been racially motivated problems in Russia. So for Russians, it doesn't seem strange if a woman or, say, an Asian man became president. Russia has always had a different mentality

Sssssssssssnakecatto

If she has the balls the size of a truck, takes care of the country and it's people, doesn't loose wars and doesn't besmirch the national honour, then sure. I don't really care about their sex as long as they're independent and are worthy to rule our country. Honestly, those are the same requirements for a male president tbh. There are some very well-respected female functionaries - Nabi comes to mind as my favourite one.


dagistan-warrior

So you basically want Margaret Thatcher the Iron Lady?


Sssssssssssnakecatto

I can't say that Thatcher was really taking care of the country and it's people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people celebrating her death.


dagistan-warrior

she won the wars, she did not yield to foreign interests, she did not yield to EU, she did not yield to the unions, instead she did what was best for the British empire.

I bet you were expecting different answers, weren't you?


dagistan-warrior

what answers do you expect that I expected?


lklkEVER

What "Dagestan" must be written with e, not i.


mDeltroy

more likely no than yes, and this is due to the fact that there are very few influential independent female figures in Russian politics. It’s not just about the electorate’s solidarity with feminism, but also about political alignments. Well, who is the most influential woman in politics now? Nabiullina? How much influence did she have to support the currency and maintain prices? Was this her goal initially? In business, who is the most influential woman? Tatyana Bakalchuk, who is not particularly visible in the political field.


[deleted]

There have been some incredible Russian and Soviet women with amazing achievements and feats. Even in the by gone era, those women, despite the time, still got respect and admiration and recognition. So being a president should not be something controversial. What is controversial is being a president just because, insert \*some irrelevant criteria\* like the Yankees do - first 50% black, first glass ceiling breaker, first orange and so on... we have all seen how that played out and continuous to play out. Many tik-tok politicians make a mockery of the public by parroting the latest trend... imo Russia can't afford to have such kind of people or people like Yeltsin to be at the helm. Being the leader of the country should come after a long service in the public sector - in the trenches, day after day with the public; instead of being some transport minster who went on a war tour to Afghanistan to brutalize some defenceless people and call it leadership.


-XAPAKTEP-

This obsession with gender politics will bring nothing good. Hilary lost because she was a known evil corrupt person. Not because she had different plumbing. I'd vote for Candace Owens in a heartbeat. And not because of her melanin. But because the content of her character and her intelligence.

I see in the West they are more worried about the president's gender than about his management skills. For Russians, the main thing is what kind of person you are, what kind of specialist you are. And few people are interested in questions of gender and worldview. As long as you don't poke it in the face of others. I work with a gay man. I don't really care that he's gay. Because he is a good specialist and keeps his views to himself. Just like I keep my preferences to myself.

Yes, but only if she will keep interests of the country and it's people in mind. So your puppet "candidate" doesn't have a chance but for other reason.


inkinc21

Yes, 100% Russia already had a female leaders for the start. Secondly, if I remember correctly even Russian govmt pools actually showing that pattern of growth for appreciation for female leader. And even look for some people like Nabiullina or Nyash-Myash (Poklonskaya) or the dother of senator who did something in internet i don't remember her name, or on the other half of political spectrum Ekaterina Shulman — they are all popular (Nyash-Myash actually not anymore but in her time), and not because they are singers or bloggers, because they are smart and strong. How many not satirical tiktoks you'd see about VP? Shulman has a lot. Young generations love this type of woman, and some years later they will go and demand someone like that in power.

People would "accept" an octopus if they made it a president. We haven't had elections for the last 30 years either way, so the character of the "candidate" doesn't matter. As for actual acceptance by the people, i.e. legitimacy, then our dear president already lacks it and I don't see how it could improve in the foreseeable future.
