Russia has done something stupid. It was incredibly open, unilaterally and stupidly supported by Marin Le Pen at the last presidential election in France. It was a terrible stupidity, because everyone knew that she would lose, and she had no chances. To support Le Pen it was possible: it has long been connected with Moscow, it is inconvenient to refuse support. But why was to run into Makron, to conduct a cyberwar against him, it is not clear, writes Leonid Radzikhovsky for Apostrophe. - Nevertheless, enough stupidity has been done. And Putin will try to smooth it down. Because relations with France for Russia are important, at least symbolic.

The strategic calculation of the Russian command for the collapse of the European Union failed miserably, which was evident long ago. Nevertheless, they bent their. Thus, the relationship is most spoiled. Now Putin needs to establish them. Since in this situation he is to blame, not McCron, he must take the first step.

This purely symbolic action - symbolically spoiled the relationship and will symbolically try to establish. But the image of demonized Russia and the demonized image of Putin can not be remedied. As long as Putin is president, Russia will remain in the image of a dangerous empire of evil threatening peace. Such an image of Russia did not come about yesterday, and no visits will fix it.

But politicians also need to do something, so they do. Therefore, the meeting will not affect the cancellation of sanctions in any way and will not bring any changes to the Norman format. Russian propaganda will use the fact of the visit to show that there is no isolation.
