Taking on the might of America and Europe he has succeeded in cementing a sphere of influence in the former Soviet Union, and extending his reach into the Middle East and Asia. While not partisan to Putin s wrongs, this insightful doc examines the logic and motivations of Putin’s vilified regime, and why he is so loved in his homeland. In 2015, Western leaders declined Russia s invitation to a ceremony commemorating the sacrifice of Soviet men and women who fought during the Second World War. It was a wider symptom of frosty relations between Russia and the West. If the West had collaborated with Putin in a genuine economic partnership, today Russia would be a member of NATO and the European Union. But they didn t want relations based on equality with Russia , argues Maxime Chevtchenko, a member of the Human Rights council of Russia. Russians feel scorned, surrounded, threatened , notes Chevtchenko. Believing Europe to be ultimately hostile to Russia, Putin has turned his attention to building relations elsewhere. Putin believes that Europe wants to impose its ideological norms on Russia. China doesn t do this , explains economist Vladislav Inozemtsev.
