Russian Trump Zhirinovsky slams Obama: Crybaby, Go Away to Hawaii and Play Golf!
Our leaders and our news media like to pretend that Putin runs everything in Russia. Part of the reason that people here in the USA take such a stupid assertion seriously is the utter and complete lack of familiarity we have with politicians in Russia. When you start to become familiar with who's who in Russian politics, you begin to realize how fundamentally similar our government is to the government in Russia or vice versa. Ignorance is the only reason that anyone takes seriously gross over-simplifications such as the common assertion that every decision made in Russia has to be approved by Putin, which is something that Obama more or less said just a couple weeks ago.
BTW, Putin is a moderate compared to this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Zhirinovsky
