NATO Russia builds a wall separating you, the West treats it as a vassal, and to the east of Ukraine are fighting “volunteers, guided by the voice of the heart” – these are some of the statements made by President Vladimir Putin, who answered questions from journalists at the annual conference. Their assessment of the expert asked PISM driver Peter Kościńskiego East program.
Even if they bring before the face of Putin Russian soldier of Donbass, which would explain, that there is a volunteer, and was sent on the orders of the commander of Russia, Putin will be argued that this is not true. Peter Kościński, expert PISM
At the start of a meeting with representatives of the media, Putin emphasized the strength of the Russian economy, budget surplus, increasing industrial production, agriculture. He admitted that the economic situation deteriorated, but it is the result of “external factors” and the crisis should be resolved in the worst case, for two years. But if the Russians, which will increasingly touch increases due to the weakening of the ruble position, but can withstand and Putin finally starts to lose support now reaching up to 80 percent?

“Besieged” Russia
According to the expert PISM do not expect protests against Putin, even if they worsen quality of life of Russian citizens. – Putin will want to play cards “external threat” of Russia surrounded by enemies, the US and the EU, wishing to lead to the overthrow of power in the country, and even its destruction – comments.
It was in this Convention shall be part of Putin’s words about the responsibility of NATO for the construction of another “Berlin Wall” separating Russia or statements that Moscow “does not attack anyone”, but only defend their own interests, when asked a new Cold War.
– The West is bad, sparked unrest in Ukraine, led to a coup led anti-Russian sentiment – describe Putin rhetoric Kościński and adds: – This is a reversal of reality. Anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine have been fueled by the West, but are caused by the actions of Russia itself. But it is better to say that the fault of the West, which has also introduced sanctions affecting ordinary Russians.
According to the expert, the Kremlin propaganda has long been confronted by a vision of the West, “rotten, liberal, who only cares about money and control the world” and Russia “guided by conservative values, wishing well for themselves and the environment in the Ukraine. ” And although it brings consequences in the form of support from the Russian public, Putin could lose the support of the elite, if its further policy will not be effective.
The President of Russia was even directly asked by a journalist at a conference, or may be a palace coup. Jokingly replied that it is not yet the palace, and the Kremlin. Is it true that there is no reason to worry? – It is possible to change brought about by the elites who now rule Russia. No I think about lots, playing the role of the opposition system, ie Communists and liberal Democrats, but the elites closely related with Putin – oligarchs who enjoy the fact that he is in power – comments Kościński. Such a revolution – according to expert – would be possible only after Putin had begun to lose ground in foreign policy, internal and in the economic field. – Then there may be a desire to bring about some changes, at the moment this is not possible – he says.
“volunteers” in Ukraine
It is not excluded that sooner or later Putin will admit that there are (in the east of Ukraine – ed.) Russian soldiers, but at the moment it is better to say something else. Peter Kościński
President Putin also spoke about the situation in Ukraine. According to him, the war contributed to the West, which diplomats do not enforce the February agreements between being even President Viktor Yanukovych and representatives of the opposition. Putin, when asked directly how many Russian soldiers sent to the east of Ukraine, claimed that the fighting there people are not mercenaries, because one does not pay them. This “volunteers, guided by your heart,” he said.
