Putin's decision to annex Crimea has been immensely popular at home. His
rating immediately skyrocketed to an all-time high of 75% even as the
economy is sinking. At a stroke he has restored Russia's sense of pride
after 20 years of shame: the independent Levada Centre found 63% of
respondents said modern Russia has regained the status of a superpower,
the highest level in the history of the poll... Putin appears to have
recaptured the political initiative that he lost following the street
protests of December 2011''
