Giant ‘Spasibo’ Murals for Putin’s Birthday
For those of my readers who wanted to hear more about Putin, this just in. For the first time, Putin took a real day off on his 62nd birthday on October 7 and used it to spend some time alone with nature. The right way to spend a wholesome and peaceful birthday, if you ask me. 😉
The new cute video below continues the theme of my previous post: Happy Birthday, Mr. President! T-shirts, Marches and Pedestals for Putin’s Birthday. Artists from the youth project called «Сеть» – ‘Network’ – painted giant murals on walls of tall buildings in each of the seven Russian cities spanning the entire Russian territory west to east and north to south: Moscow, St Petersburg (Russia’s northern and cultural capital), Kaliningrad (westernmost Russian city), Sevastopol (Crimea), Novosibirsk (Western Siberia capital), Irkutsk (Eastern Siberia capital), and Vladivostok (Far East capital, largest easternmost Russian city). Each mural depicts an important theme and stands for a specific word, such as Strength, Memory, Arctic, Sovereignty, History, Security, and Olympics. In Russian: Сила, Память, Арктика, Суверенитет, История, Безопасность и Олимпиада.
These murals were painted as a tribute to Putin’s birthday. Together, first letters of the above words spanning seven cities and entire Russian territory, form the word «спасибо» = ‘SPASIBO,’ or ‘thank you.’
In Russian: Семь российских городов поздравили Владимира Путина с днем рождения с помощью граффити. В семи городах России на фасадах многоэтажных домов были нарисованы большие буквы, которые складываются в слово «спасибо». Таким образом президента с днем рождения поздравили участники молодежного проекта «Сеть». В Москве, Санкт-Петербурге, Новосибирске, Владивостоке, Иркутске, Калининграде и Севастополе и появились граффити со словами: Сила, Память, Арктика, Суверенитет, История, Безопасность и Олимпиада.

And so it is, despite all of the propaganda attacks on President Putin by the U.S and allies, President Putin is still most beloved by the Russian people and by me. He has stood tall and maintained his dignity against the many assaults on his character by those who are not good enough to lick his boots clean.
For President Putin’s next birthday, I am going to write a poem in his honor and post it!
Thank you Lada Ray for posting this and for the video. What the Russian people have done to celebrate President Putin’s birthday is absolutely beautiful and a most wonderful tribute!
…and to President Putin, I hope that your birthday was absolutely divine and what a lovely way that was to spend it, communing with nature. It does my heart good to see a man as powerful as President Putin, taking the time to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Beautiful support from the people.
What saddens me is that the artists choose a nuclear missile for Сила, and military themes for most of the pictures…

I know… But you have to see this from their perspective. Many analysts have warned that US/NATO is planning on attacking Russia.
You know that my prediction is: ‘there will never be an armed conflict between Russia and US,’ but that is because I look deep into the future, and also – think about it – because they are arming themselves now.
They feel the better prepared they are, the more peace they will have. Can’t argue with that, considering who they are dealing with. Remember what happened to Hiroshima, the Serbia bombings, Iraq, etc.
Russia cannot be attacked specifically because they are too strong militarily. Attacking Russia is suicide for the West.
And remember, they were not the ones who started the new round of cold war – it was US/EU/NATO that started and provoked the whole thing. This is Russia’s response.

Wow, what a great birthday present!! I hope President Putin had a really nice birthday out in Nature. (I like to spend my birthday that way also. Highly recommended! ;o) )
Oh yes, spasibo President Putin! Thank you for being a patient voice of reason while the U.S. president and his Secretary of State go publicly insane and try to blow up the whole world. Can’t thank you enough, sir.

Perhaps a NYC permit for a modest march can be obtained for President Putin’s next Birthday.

I believe President Putin is a special chosen vessel of Jesus like St. Paul was to bring
God’ s kingdom of peace, love and truth to the world. I know Putin believes and knows the truth will set us free. Putin was trained in the crucible of propaganda lies and distrust of the cold war. Perhaps he hears from God directly when he is in nature away from people just like Paul did in the wilderness of Arabia.
