Summary/Abstract: The Russian leader is not like a real politician elected for a certain term based on certain conditions. He is rather an illusory embodiment of mass expectations which arise from a large amount of frustration accumulated over time. Thanks to the constant effort of the authorities and the media, the criteria that the Russian society uses to assess its head of state remain rather vague.
