Putin's Key Policy Directions

The key policy directions that Vladimir Putin has pursued as President of Russia can be summarized as follows:

Nationalism and sovereignty: Putin has emphasized bolstering Russian nationalism and asserting Russia's sovereignty and independence on the global stage. This includes resisting what the Kremlin sees as Western attempts to encroach on Russia's sphere of influence, such as NATO expansion.

Economic and military strength: Putin has focused on rebuilding Russia's economic and military might after the difficulties of the 1990s following the Soviet collapse. This includes increasing spending on the military, space programs, and cutting-edge technologies.

Social conservatism: On social issues, Putin has promoted conservative Russian Orthodox Christian values and opposed Western liberal influences. This includes policies favoring the traditional nuclear family and restricting LGBTQ rights and advocacy.

Centralization of power: Domestically, Putin has centralized power around the presidency and weakened other branches of government, independent media, and civil society groups. Critics say this has made Russia less democratic. Supporters argue strong, stable leadership is needed.

Pragmatism: While promoting Russian interests assertively, Putin is also pragmatic and willing to cooperate with other major powers on issues of mutual interest, such as arms control, the Iran nuclear deal, and fighting terrorism.
