Valdai speech of Putin was boring, grey and predictable. The President talked a bunch of nonsense about capitalism, conservatism, Hollywood etc.
We have to understand that Putin’s conservatism is an order which allows him and other Russian feudals to proceed with their personal enrichment at the expense of the whole country. That’s about it.
Money and power – that’s the only idea Putin has. He isn’t able to set strategic goals and fell well behind the time.
It wasn’t a speech of a modern leader, it was a speech of bunker Putin. We tried to discuss it with a couple of people in Washington, but there is just nothing to discuss. One of our respondents summed it up like “Putin forgot to take his pills”.
