26:06Now PlayingHow Russia's "obedient majority" will elect Vladimir Putin to a fifth term and why it matters from Moscow analyst Andrei Kolesnikov. The Carnegie Endowment for Peace researcher told DW's Tim Sebastian from Moscow that Russia’s “eternal president” needed the country’s conformist majority to “rally around the flag.” Kolesnikov said that even though no credible political opposition existed in Russia because extreme repression, greater even than in Soviet times, that it continues to be a very dangerous time for political opponents of Putin, in the wake of dissident politician Alexei Navalny’s death. The veteran Russian political analyst also said the Kremlin wanted the threat of “permanent war” with the West but not necessarily military confrontaton with NATO because the ongoing war in Ukraine was more than enough.
