From the perspective of world history, Russia has been a very powerful country since the Russian era. Originally, it had a small territory and a small population, even just the Grand Duchy of Moscow. However, it took hundreds of years of campaigns, continuous annexation of countries and occupation of territories to reach the present scale. So Russia has always been tough. Even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia remained very high-profile and tough. Since Putin came to power, he has been confronting the West and won the war. Because of this, he is powerful enough to make the west helpless. But now all this has changed. Why is Russia now "low-key" a lot? There are three main reasons.

After Putin took office, he was actually very high-profile. He gave me 20 years and gave you a powerful Russia. After that, it launched the second Chechen war, won Chechnya at all costs, cracked down on financial oligarchs in a high-profile way and stabilized the country. Foreign countries keep winning wars in Ukraine, Georgia, Syria and Venezuela. But also a high-profile response and a tough counterattack against the West.

But now Russia, especially this year, the whole Russia is actually very low-key. He not only concentrates on domestic affairs, but also seldom gets angry with the west. Even in the face of western accusations, he kept a low profile, which is completely unlike Putin's style. Because of this, many people may not understand why Russia is keeping a low profile now. Actually, there are three main reasons.

First, domestic poverty.

Putin has been in power for 20 years, making Russia strong and winning a series of wars. But it is undeniable that Russia's wealth consumption is huge. Especially under the western sanctions and containment, the economy is depressed and people's income is sharply reduced, so the gap between the rich and the poor in China is widening, the people are poor and domestic contradictions are prominent.

So at this time, for Russia, what is needed is rest and low-key development. And if we continue to be high-profile, then Russia will be difficult to maintain. After all, war and confrontation are costly.

Second, it's worse.

This epidemic has made Russia worse. Not only did the economy go backwards, but the domestic epidemic situation was not well controlled. The number of confirmed cases and deaths ranks among the highest in the world, which aggravates domestic dissatisfaction and poverty. There is no power to compete with the west, so it is actually wise to hide your strength. Only in this way can we have more strength to solve domestic problems and stabilize the country, which is also the core.

Third, the west has also slowed down.

In recent years, the containment and attack on Russia by the West has gradually become scarce, and the overall intensity is not as great as before. Now the epidemic situation in the west is so serious that he is too busy to attend to. More directly, the United States targeted our country and worsened our environment, while Russia breathed a sigh of relief.

The west has reduced its containment of Russia, which also gives Russia the opportunity to keep a low profile. In addition, Russia still needs to digest the issue of amending the Constitution and Putin's remaining in power until 2036 to avoid domestic problems and crises. This is why we see a rare low-key Russia.
