Russian President Vladimir Putin to describe the “bullying” practiced against Russia by “bullying” Western countries, used the image of a character from the “Jungle Book”: the jackal Tabaqui, an ally and in fact subject to the tiger Shere Khan. “Let’s see what’s going on in real life. Like I said, they take it out on Russia, here and there for no reason. All little Tabaqui running around, like around Shere Khan and howling,” Putin said. “Everything is like in Kipling. To appease the sovereign,” he added, provoking applause in the hall. Tabaqui is known in the narrative to tell lies and feed on the scraps he finds in the piles of garbage. The character is famously inspired by the Indian reality, where lone jackals attach themselves to a specific tiger, following it at a safe distance in order to feed on the prey killed by the feline, and even warning the feline of the presence of a prey with a strong call. .

we defend and will defend within the framework of international law, as, in fact, other states of the world are doing “.
Putin also spoke of Belarus, a country in which there is a gigantic repression of dissent and protests against the despot Lukashenko. “A coup was attempted and there was a plan to assassinate President Alexander Lukashenko”. “And in the so-called Western countries nobody says it,” said the head of the Kremlin.
As for domestic politics, Putin – whose United Russia party dropped in the polls ahead of the September elections – assured that the government’s main goal is to raise Russian incomes. “The main thing is to guarantee the growth of real citizens’ incomes”, he declared, announcing a series of measures aimed at reviving the finances of the Russians, who have suffered in recent years from the economic crisis due to the collapse of the piece of oil, the sanctions and the pandemic.
