In the eyes of the Russian people, Putin represents stability, strength and order. In the eyes of the west, he is a geopolitical giant and a mystery. Putin called himself an interim administrator appointed by the Russian people.
Extended data:
Volodyne, chairman of the Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament), once said that without Putin, there would be no Russia today.
On March 1, Putin delivered his last State of the Union address during his current presidency, and the latter part focused on the latest Russian weapons.
Russian mainstream public opinion believes that Putin has brought the dignity and glory of a big country to Russia. Russian polls show that Putin's performance on the Crimean crisis and the Syrian issue during his current term has won public support.
The conservatism advocated by Putin takes national sovereignty, independence and national uniqueness as its core elements. Analysts pointed out that this appeal is in line with Russia's current development situation, with the Russian people's psychology of pursuing stability and order, satisfying the people's great power complex, and is also in the same strain as Russian history and culture with Orthodox Church as the core.
