this appeals to traditional russian values. this has the backing of the majority of the russian people? about snowden and the notion about the anti-gay laws and other conservative pieces of legislation passed recently are all driven by internal politics. putin needs to consolidate the conservative part of the society, which represents about 2/3 of the russian population. his support base is deteriorating rapidly recently. without getting those guys together, without proving he can provide stability for the traditional russian values, without that, he cannot preserve his power. >> it is also about distancing himself from the west. he says russia can be great again with the resurgence of the church. he is saying he steps to protect its conservative russian. >> in a sense, yes. he has to respect the views of the people that live in russia and not listen to what the western powers are saying. gaye saw images attacking protesters. is that the future for russia? has beenlaw misinterpreted. there is a lot of confusion around it. this
