Whether in the illegal occupation of Crimea and eastern Ukraine, in verbal exchanges with the "West," or in the struggle to maintain power at home, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin repeatedly mobilizes and exploits moments from 1,000 years of Russian history to justify controversial policies. He presents himself as a statesman committed to reviving the former glory and greatness of the Russian and Soviet empires.
