He
suggested that future Russia should be united not so much by Putin, a man of
flesh and blood, but by Putinism as an ideology of collective coexistence and
survival.
It sounds
very much like Argentina's Peronism, which means it is not necessarily
incompatible with democracy.
Ultimately
there is one thing which Putin understand perhaps better than all
Kremlinologists, both Russian and Western:
It is that
he is the product of the ever-changing Russian political culture, not
otherwise.
He is the
living embodiment of what Russian experts often call "the collective
Putin".
He can
adapt as a politician to tectonic cultural and social shifts, but he hardly has
the power to precipitate them or change their direction.
Perhaps he
can slow them down at best.
