Some hardliners in Moscow think: Let’s restore as much as possible of the old “Sovjet Gloria,” without any idea how it could work….The West – USA and EU – seems to them rather weak, financial crisis etc. and not able for a strong and united reaction after their experiences in Sochi . It is as if Turkey would choose to behave like in the old times of the Ottoman Empire.What they don’t understand is: Only the power of ethic values  and an economy based on trust can be successful.
