A Russian journalist says that Putin has become more isolated in recent years. In an Op-Ed for The New York Times, journalist Mikhail Zygar said that Putin believes he alone can save Russia. Putin and his aides are obsessed with the past and the idea of revenge against Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has lost interest in the present and is obsessed with the past, according to an essay by a Russian journalist. The author of "All The Kremlin's Men", a book about Putin's inner circle, is the former editor in chief of the independent Russian TV News channel Dozhd. In an opinion piece for The New York Times, Zygar wrote that his sources close to the Russian President said that he is annoyed by issues of the present like the economy, social issues, and the coronaviruses. The only Western leader that Mr. Putin took seriously was Germany. It is time for Russia to avenge the humiliations of the 1990s now that she is gone. According to Zygar, Putin's aides have been trying to convince him that he is the only one who can save Russia, and that he doesn't trust the people around him. In the past, Putin has met with friends and advisors for drinks and barbeques, but now he is cut off from most of his team. Some of Putin's closest aides have to stay out of the public eye for two or three weeks to get a meeting with the president. In June 2020 Putin's palace in Novo-Ogaryovo was equipped with a special tunnel that visitors had to pass through in order to visit him, and news reports in September 2020 said the Russian leader lived there. His decision to surround himself with sycophants and ideologues helped bring Europe to its most dangerous moment since World War II, because of his deep belief that Russian domination over Ukraine must be restored.
