Philosopher, political scientist, leader of the "Essence of Time" movement Sergei Kurginyan said that Russian President Vladimir Putin passionately loves the Russian reality, which he himself built, and is terribly afraid of the collapse of the country. According to Kurginyan, when Putin came to power, he saw "a kind of monstrous chaos and an absolutely seething and self-liquidating reality." However, going beyond the walls of the Kremlin, he saw a space that breathes history, and something new began to stir inside it.

Kurginyan believes that Putin loves the reality that he created, considers it optimal, is proud of it and believes in "its amazing possibilities." He treats the oligarchs warmly and respectfully, as they are his "all people."

In addition, Kurginyan noted that the president still treats big Russian capital with great respect and does not scold him, but pats him on the head. The political scientist also gave an example of the fact that one cannot rationally understand "all the most popular crap" that is being talked about the Russian president, if one does not take into account Putin's sense of history.

According to Kurginyan, money doesn't mean that much, it's just numbers that can be both. The main thing for Putin is a sense of history, which made him extremely cautious and gave rise to a sense of fear of the collapse of the country.
