Abstract
As a way of introducing our subject, and in an effort to make it more dynamic, I chose to start writing an article which is essential to provide views of Putin's Russia as I interpret it from local and foreign press. After the fall of communism in the early 1990's, Russia was transformed deeply into the image of their rival enemy. USSR collapsed and with it, the whole communist ideology around the globe. This implosion provoked that many of the countries that were attached to the whole, where then left by themselves. Russia by then became weak and unstable that it was not even able to carry out the role as a regional state. It is essential to understand communism in order to understand modern Russia. Even though some of Russia's autocratic vices in the management of politics go back to the Tsarist eras of the Empire it once was. This notion of empire was never forgotten by Russian rulers, who were driven by the impulse of reasoning in terms of Russian supremacy.
