Joke of the year: Russian Olympic champion says Putin has made Russia "number one in every possible area, including life quality"

Two-time Olympic champion Yevgeny Plushenko tried to suck up to Kremlin terrorist Vladimir Putin. The henchman of the dictator said that Russia surpasses all other countries in terms of living standards.

Plushchenko said this in an interview with the propaganda news agency TASS. The former figure skater, who has been organizing his own ice shows on Putin's grants since his retirement, has issued traditional narratives about the impossibility of Russia's existence without the current Kremlin leader.

"I respect and appreciate our leader, president, and commander-in-chief for fighting for Russia, and only with him do I see its prosperity. I would like to wish Vladimir good health, the same inexhaustible energy, so that Russia remains number one in terms of quality of life, sports, and all possible areas, and I would like to wish all our citizens to be united today. We have to go shoulder to shoulder, side by side," Plushenko said.
