he wants influence. i don t think that he s trying to rebuild the soviet union. i don t think he s trying to do that, but i think he is trying to extend his interests, extend his influence into areas that are immediately bordering russia. sure. if i canjump in, while i fully agree with everything which was said, but let me add a bit of pragmatism and sergey has partially mentioned it when we re talking about putin, we re not only talking about putin talking to foreign leaders, he s also a president of a country and he talks to his population and he needs to be supported. and, basically, war rhetorics is not very much supported by russian population so far. but, like it was back in 2014 when he annexed crimea, just ahead of the elections, his rating was going higher, really. now, it s not the case. but now, he s been subjectivised by the international leaders.
