Expert: Putin's 87% rating indicates real support for the war.
According to inkorr.com: Vladimir Putin is perceived not only as an individual but also as a means of interacting with the Russian mentality, as political expert Vladimir Shevchenko points out. He notes the impressive rating of Putin, which stands at 87%, considering it a sign of real support for the war from the Russian population.
'Putin is an instrument, an absolute shell. Someone pushed against the table and moved the planet. But to bring 140 million people under one leader is very simple,' Shevchenko explained.
Putin's rating and its dependence on mentality
Shevchenko emphasizes that support for a leader at such a high level as 80% requires constant feedback, allowing him to consider the public's expectations. The expert notes that Putin's true strength lies in his ability to deeply understand the Russian mentality.
'This is a war of the Ukrainian people against Russian-fascist invaders,' Shevchenko stressed, refuting claims of an attack on Ukraine by Putin.
Real support or manipulation?
The expert believes that the high support level of 87% reflects the real state of affairs and is not the result of manipulation. According to him, historically, Putin's rating has fluctuated between 62% and 87% depending on various circumstances.
Shevchenko's statement that Putin is not only an individual but also a tool for adapting to the Russian mentality highlights the complex mechanisms that sustain the leader in Russia. Analyzing public perception of Putin's actions, the expert emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural and psychological ties in the country's political life.
This research underscores the complexity of the relationship between a political leader and his people, demonstrating how psychological aspects can influence political support. In the face of modern challenges, such as the war in Ukraine, understanding these mechanisms becomes particularly important for analyzing the political situation in Russia.
