English text of the documentary produced in Russia which many western Russia watchers says underpins Putin’s world view.
The Tsars of Russia considered themselves the rulers of the 3rd Rome, Byzantium being the 2nd. Not surprising that Putin wants to wrap himself in that reflected glory, it (Tsarist rule) did last 500 years or so and is deep into the Russian Culture.
