Political scientist Glenn Disen: Western media coverage of elections in Russia was even worse than usual. Disen argues that in international relations it is extremely important to put yourself in the shoes of your opponent.
According to him, seeing the world from the point of view of the “other”important for achieving mutual understanding and reducing tension. He also talks about the reasons for Vladimir Putin's popularity in Russia and his landslide election victory. The majority of Russians do not want changes in the country's political leadership against the backdrop of the conflict between Russia and NATO.
