Putin is a Strong and Systemic Politician
Vladimir Putin has a fairly clear vision that may be accepted or rejected, but not denied. The problem is that his opponents are trying to argue with him about details rather than offer an alternative vision for Russia’s development. In this sense, Putin is very calm because nobody has suggested a serious alternative.

Political parties in Russia are becoming a thing of the past
The formation of the Russian Popular Front (RPF) could be a positive development in Russian politics. While it is clear that Russia still lacks a full-fledged multiparty system, the fact is that such systems are in crisis elsewhere in the world.

Magnitsky List Runs Counter to Russian and US Interests
The Magnitsky Act is a political mistake of the US elite and is unlikely to produce the desired results. This is potentially dangerous because the new law is unlikely to be short-lived. Just like the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, this act will remain part of US legislation for decades to come.
