It is possible that Putin’s interviews NBC set one global goal: to demonstrate peacefulness on the one handand on the other hand, show the outside observer the stiffness of the hand of the Russian president, which must be shown after a long stay in the bunker. The content and textures in the interview were at a minimum, but this aspect is unimportant if The initial goal was the desire to demonstrate forceWhich also created a general feeling of “uselessness” of an interview for large masses with a hint of signals of a narrow group of people.
One way or another, Putin still had to answer the topics and questions uncomfortable for him, which is why the theme became the cornerstone “Is Putin the killer really?”who is crumbling in the root of the peaceful mood of the summit. It is possible that The Kremlin is such positioning only on the hand, which is due to the sharp need to construct the “image of the enemy” outside the systemIncluding Biden, who does not intend to abandon his words.
The interview also showed that the topic of Navalny would not let Putin go and will periodically appear on the agenda. The latter confirms The ostentatious absence of the president’s interest in “Oppositionist No. 1” and his statement that Navalny is in the same conditions as the rest of the prisonersbut no one made an attempt at all. The unconvincing response of the Russian president increases the risk of public resonance caused by questions about Navalny, and makes the opposition exchange script for an equivalent prisoner in the United States likely.
During the conversation with the representative of the NBC, it was bright another pressure factor for Putin is illuminated: The fight against “Russian hackers”, which have become a key topic for Western democracies. Putin actually chose the tactics of complete denial, which is not suitable for the image of the “first defender of Russia”, which he is trying to impose with the addition of a note “Easy traditionalism”. With this approach, constructive breakthroughs at the meeting of Putin and Biden are not expected, which is intensified by the unpredictability of the American president.
