Russia, politics and power: internal & external(new title)

[kaur]

List of Russian specialists tried to understand Putin's Russia here. This Natalia Zubarevich's, author of "Four Russias" concept, opinion reminds me mirhond's golden era.

It is unlikely that the post-Soviet imperial syndrome will be over- come during the next 10–15 years. Not only has nostalgia for the USSR survived in the minds of the older generations, but also the imperial myth is being successfully reproduced in the minds of Russia’s younger people. The period of abrupt intensification of flag waving cannot last long, but support for Putin’s policy of, to use the regime’s official language, “in-gathering of the Russian lands” is here to stay for a long time as a value choice made by most Russians, no matter where they live.
