You are right, he is far from stupid, but he is rather self delusional and who knows if he is all there. Stalin wasn't stupid either, but the man was certifiably insane.

Overall, it makes me so sad, because I think Russia could be such a grate country if it wasn't for their leadership. There many people inside Russia who think the same way, unfortunately they are oppressed and exterminated on regular bases. It's ironic that a country that requires bloggers to register with the government of face jail time is trying to make an open alternative phone operating system to safeguard the users data.
