Home World Cup "a spectacular football festival"
With the final between France and Croatia, the 2018 World Cup ends in Russia. President Vladimir Putin draws an absolutely positive tournament record on the World Cup at home.
For years, Vladimir Putin has done everything for the World Cup to arrive in Russia. As soon as he started, he disappeared from the scene. This is part of a plan that was mainly domestic.
J Now that the World Cup is over, the organizers are full of praise. FIFA President Gianni Infantino spoke about the best World Cup of all time. And Vladimir Putin rejoiced that they finally showed the world that they had a false image of Russia. The "myths and prejudices" of the guests at the World Cup were "broken".
How does Putin achieve this certainty? He did not even watch the games of his own team. Instead, he demonstrated political activity.
"Putin can not come to football, he has to govern," was the message the Kremlin broadcast during the World Cup. He, who had done everything to launch the tournament in the country, suddenly acted as if there were more important things than the biggest sporting event in the world. Once started, he left the games to people. He himself presented himself as a good patriarch, a modest boss in the background.

That the team Russian national has qualified for the quarter-finals, he must have felt like a jackpot. Suddenly, not only the Russians encouraged the "Sbornaja", a team that no one had on the bill. The locals fraternized with their guests, the guests seized the opportunity of international understanding
Putin showed no nudity
And while the country knew a great euphoria of football, Putin broke undesirable changes in the law. At the national level, the World Cup was a blow for him. On the foreign policy side, Putin's phrase "broken myths" is interesting because it contains a projection. It is difficult for the president to know with which prejudices the visitors arrived and with what impressions they left. He can only act on his own prejudices that he maintains towards the rest of the world.

If the president really cares about his guests, let him tell you: who went to Russia without prejudice, and they were probably the vast majority, if not they would not have come here, he lived five exciting weeks. The stadiums were great, the organization of a room and the infrastructure almost everywhere outstanding. It may not be the best, but it is a very good World Cup. Putin was not naked. He did not expect otherwise.
The problems that Russia has and the problems the world has with Russia are still unresolved. It has nothing to do with the myths of others and nothing with the Russian people. But very well with the perception of the man in the Kremlin.
