Instead somehow it would have to be made clear that Putin miscalculated. That would only be possible with further sanctions and if necessary, the discontinuation of all business relations with Moscow, as well as with direct military help for Kiev in form of weapons deliveries to Ukraine, stationing of NATO troops in the Ukraine and US lead air raids against separatists and Russian lines of communication.

That transformation was described as based on the ideas of the "special civilizational mission" of the Russians, such as Moscow as the third Rome and expansionism, which manifests itself in anti-Ukrainianism. This is also a term widely used to identify members of the Russian Armed Forces and supporters of Russian military aggression on Ukraine.

"Takogo kak Putin" is a 2002 Russian propaganda pop song written by Alexander Yelin and performed by the all-girl band Poyushchie vmeste.

The song was a one-hit wonder and is considered one of the most notable songs in the cult of personality surrounding Putin.
