An authoritarian regime In Putin's Russia, there is little room for criticism. Critics of the regime, such as Navalny, were/are often arrested and imprisoned. Putin opts for an authoritarian style of government: authority lies with him and his confidants. Elections are held regularly, but opponents of the regime do not get a fair chance. The state monitors the media and forces them to support Putin.

Return as a world power
In the 1990s, the situation in Russia was dramatically poor. . The Soviet empire had disintegrated and the economy was at a standstill.
In 2000 Vladimir Putin
became president. He felt
the decline was unbearable
and and wanted to make
Russia a strong state, that
was internationally respected.
In order to get the economy going, he carried out far-reaching reforms. With the proceeds, he reinforced the army. In this way, he restored Russia's position of power from before.

Uprising in Ukraine Putin doesn't want the West to have any influence in Russia's neighbouring countries. When Ukraine wanted to conclude a treaty with the EU, Putin was vehemently opposed to it. He put pressure on the Ukrainian president not to sign the treaty. But when he refused to sign, a bloody uprising broke out in Kiev. The Ukrainian president was deposed and a pro-Western government took over.
Slide 26 - Slide
Annexation of Crimea
Putin found the change of power in Ukraine unacceptable. He wanted to punish the country and show the world that Russia would not allow itself to be overrun.
As a target he chose Crimea: a peninsula in the Black Sea, which Russia had given to Ukraine in 1954. In early 2014, Russian military forces took over power there. Here you see them at a blockade. A year later, Crimea was incorporated into Russia.
Slide 27 - Slide
The disaster with flight MH-17 Simultaneously with the crisis in the Crimea, an uprising broke out in Eastern Ukraine. The rebels were assisted by Russian military.
On 17 July 2014, a passenger plane flying over on its way to Malaysia was hit by an anti-aircraft missile. The photo shows a fragment of the aircraft. 298 people lost their lives, including 196 Dutch citizens. According to investigators, Russian soldiers had fired the missile, but Putin rejected any responsibility.
Slide 28 - Slide
The start of the war in Ukraine After recognising the two separatist People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk on Ukrainian territory as independent states on 21 February, Putin, with the approval of the Russian Parliament, sent military personnel there under the guise of a 'peace mission'. On 24 February, Putin announced a 'special military operation' to 'demilitarise and denazify' Ukraine. Almost immediately afterwards, cruise missiles exploded in Kiev and other Ukrainian cities, and Russian ground troops invaded Ukraine from Russia, Belarus, and the occupied territories of Donetsk and Lugansk. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded by declaring martial law and general mobilisation.
Slide 29 - Slide
With Putin's rise to power, you could actually say that ...
the tension between the Western and Eastern Bloc is back!
