This is part of the reason why you don't want to put a person with a fragile ego in charge of a major country.
Or any country for that matter. Hungary isnot much better, save for the lack of people falling out of windows (they only fall out of jobs so far).
That is what happens after all the people who dared to correct their superior get sent to gulag, or fell from the balcony, or committed suicide
or a company.
This issue long predates Putin's time in office.
For something kind of recent, see Chernobyl
That's some real "using a sharpy to correct a hurricanes path" energy Puty...
Remembering that made me spit out my covefe.
Legitimately my first thought when I read the headline.
Oddly enough he is not the only person who has done this.

A comment on that article says it's more complicated than that. The Air Force Chief of Staff preferred SR over RS and got the speech changed before the president gave it.
That's arse
Can cancer please kick this fucking douche’s ass and just keel over already?
I swear to god only the good people die young
Shit is straight out of dictator movie
That's so stalinesque it's fucking hilarious. Gonna get a sequel to "the death of stalin" at some point if we keep getting stories like this.

See, kids? That's how you avoid falling out of a window.
Wait till you hear about the RS-71 Blackbird :D
Change the name or come choke on a poisonous mushroom. It's a very easy choice.
Very easy. I'll have more mushrooms please.
I don't really care what that degenerated fuck said.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
(tldr: 3 sentences skipped)
The Sphere constellation is intended to provide broadband Internet service from middle-Earth orbit to Russia and high-resolution Earth observation satellites.
As is usual with Russian space projects, because they tend to be poorly funded, the timeline for Sphere's deployment has been delayed and its scope reduced.
(tldr: 1 sentences skipped)
Before 2018, this satellite program was known as Ehfir (Ether), a reference to the invisible substance once thought to fill the universe and the medium through which light waves propagated.
(tldr: 14 sentences skipped)
According to a Roscosmos press release issued at the beginning of 2022, the Sphere program was hampered by the need for "colossal government spending" on other projects, including dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
(tldr: 7 sentences skipped)
Earlier this month, at the International Astronautical Congress in Azerbaijan, the new leader of Roscosmos, Yuri Borisov, referenced the Sphere constellation.
Now, he said, plans for the constellation will include the capacity to provide direct-to-cell communications, which necessarily means that some of these satellites will be very large.

The original article contains 548 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Bad bot. You skipped the main part:
"At first it was called Ehfir," Putin said. "And at one of my public speeches I was talking and said it was Sfera. I arrived at the Kremlin, and the former Roscosmos head greeted me and said, 'Vladimirovich, you said it was project Sfera, Sfera you said. That's what it is, project Sfera.'"
When you do something to try and make your boss happy, but he just thinks you're an idiot.
I can’t tell from that quote if he was impressed or disappointed
