Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks a change of attitude towards his regime from the West, but is going to take steps to correct his negative image.

This opinion was expressed by the Russian opposition politician, ex-State Duma deputy Konstantin Borovoi in his blog on the site of the "Observer".

"It is clear what Russia and the Kremlin wants - this is climate change in relation to them. It is most important. All have long understood that the impact of sanctions is very superficial, but it creates a very negative climate with respect to Russia and its projects, "Borovoy said..

According to the former State Duma deputy, the main reason for this negative climate or one of the reasons is the state of the economy, corruption, the actual unrealizability of large projects.

"Therefore, climate change is possible, but only from within Russia. Here the West has nothing to do with it. Although factors related to the war in Ukraine, with Syria, are very significant and create a significant share of this negative image. This problem must be solved, and the Kremlin, as far as it can be seen from the indirect signs, is ready to decide, but as a result of exchange and bargaining, "- writes the Russian politician.

According to him, the subject of bargaining for adequate politicians of the West, the United States, the EU is simply compliance with international agreements.

"Either you comply with international agreements, and then there is something to talk about, or you refuse to comply with them and become outcasts. So the situation with the Crimea and the east of Ukraine is a factor that Russia itself is primarily interested in influencing. But there are no such serious signs yet, "he explained..

"Putin wants major international negotiations on his adequate behavior. But this is a negotiation with a psychoanalyst, not with world leaders, "Borovoi concluded..

As reported by the "Observer", earlier journalist Matvei Ganapolsky expressed the opinion that Russian President Vladimir Putin had exhausted his instruments of influence on European countries and brought Russia to a total loss of international authority.
