366. Keir Giles - After 2007 Munich Security Conference Moscow’s Intent to Challenge West Became Clear.

After Putin’s Munich Security conference speech in 2007, Moscow’s intent
to challenge the West became clearer. A question arose almost
immediately: how far the country as a whole or its leader was at fault—
whether the world had a Russia problem or a Putin problem. Since the
full-scale invasion of Ukraine analysts have continued to debate the
attitudes of ordinary Russians toward the war. Do a broad majority of
Russians genuinely support the crimes and atrocities committed by their
country’s armed forces? If not, why do they give every appearance of
doing so, and acquiesce to be mobilised?
