In Vladimir Putin's Russia, the main political opponent Alexei Navalny is imprisoned after being poisoned, and his supporters are arrested by the thousands.
From Estonia to the United States via Germany or France, few countries have not been victims of cyber attacks from Moscow.
As for Russia's close neighbors, they live under the military threat of their big neighbor, as Ukraine and Georgia have already suffered.
Publicity
Both inside and outside his vast state, the master of the Kremlin imposed himself by force and violence.
But for what result?
Internationally, Russia is more isolated than ever, while its economy remains dependent on the world price of hydrocarbons and its GDP remains between that of Spain and Italy.
Is nuisance the only power of Vladimir Putin?
