Hamdi Karim, you're philosophically correct, but not politically effective. There is an unabashed pro-liberal pole, associated with the figure of Medvedev. As a symbol. Another pole is anti-liberal, which Putin seeks to join. Also as a symbol. I know that Medvedev will not be elected, even with the support of Putin. But Putin was elected with even more easily without the support of Medvedev. Then match the two pole only benefits pro-liberal. We need to shift the ideological-political axis in favor of patriotic and collectivist idea, even with some tactical concessions.
