Putin has Russia as a bastion of conservation

If the desire to restore Russia to a prominent role in the international arena was well known since the last election campaign, from which Putin has come out the winner, the Russian President had not made ​​so explicit the moral foundations on which it intends to base the primacy of Moscow. The increasing convergence with the Orthodox Church , however, was an important clue . Russia , in its tumultuous development of the last twenty years , so it is arrived at a conservatism made ​​more explicit by the provisions of the law approved in full harmony with the support of the clergy. This is an important development that analysts should not be underestimated at all . The emphasis with which Putin presented his country as a nation with experience of many centuries , crediting it to the face of the ability to learn to deal with international issues , represents a vision that appears at odds with the modernist ethics , responding to the logic of globalization , prevailing among the statesmen of the world. Present Russia as a bulwark of defense of traditionalist values ​​, which are based on the importance of moral and religious aspects , means to turn , not so much to the audience of nations, as in that of the great mass of individuals , who increasingly identified with conservatism as rejection of those norms that are seen as bearers of ability to subvert the natural order of things. Not surprisingly, the Russian Federation is one of those countries that most hinders relationships and attitudes homosexuals, identified just as contrary to morality and tradition . The tactics of Putin seeks to gain consensus, then , not so much between nations as such and through governments , but seeking the favor of people with conservative ideas , certainly is a huge audience , both in Europe and in North America . Russia shows as well as a country where there is a revision of moral norms and traditions , but as a nation where the sense of identity tied to these aspects is always certain and sure , a country proud of its peculiarities due to its own well-defined and culture that refuses to be counted among the nations with identity less and less certain because the result of the mixing of cultures . From this position, the conservative nationalism of the purest exhibition is a short step . The rest is all part of the affirmation of the idea and the desire to make return Russia to be a superpower , no matter what it was called before the tsarist empire and then the Soviet Union , the importance is to reaffirm the historical concept of Moscow as the Third Rome . To reaffirm the central position of Russia is important to have a space supranational starting point , even to break the sense of isolation that the Kremlin suffers so eye-catching. The common area , as opposed to the Europe of Brussels , to be built by the former Soviet states remains a priority and the hitch of Ukraine is seen as an invasion of the field certainly not pleasant , but fixable , thanks to the economic availability . More complicated is the management of power relations , based on arsenals , especially with the U.S.. Putin for the block of nuclear weapons , that perhaps he preferred to experience the balance of terror , they opened the way for a rise of increasingly sophisticated conventional weapons , with the real danger of an escalation of the arms race on a contractual basis . In truth, Russia is already on this road for having a substantial budget of € 522 billion , for its armed forces . A speech to the nation , therefore, in line with the Russian president had already announced several times : a Russian international player , with , in addition, the emphasis on conservative values ​​expressed in clear and explicit terms . In many populist movements and traditionalists, the world will be able to break through ?
