The organization of new foreign adventures under the slogan "rising from the knees" is becoming increasingly costly for Russia.

This in an interview with the "Observer" said a Russian political scientist, professor, head of the expert group "SOVA" and a member of the public council of the House of Free Russia in Kiev, Mikhail Savva.

"I do not expect a significant softening of Russia's foreign policy. It should be understood that this policy is aimed at solving one internal task - providing support for the regime at the expense of people with imperial thinking. In the Russian Federation, there are many such people, because in the Soviet Union the RSFSR was formally a metropolis. Russians are more difficult to feel themselves victims of colonial oppression compared to citizens of other countries of the former USSR. The Kremlin can not afford to show weakness in the foreign arena, "Savva said..

According to him, foreign-policy defeats can turn into a catastrophe for this regime in the form of mass indignation of disgruntled imperialists.

"On the other hand, the organization of new foreign adventures under the slogan" getting up from the knees "is becoming more expensive. Therefore, we can only expect the preservation of the current degree of confrontation or its small decrease, "the political scientist summed up..

As reported by the "Observer", the poll shows that the Russians began to get tired of Vladimir Putin.
