西方的所作所为就像它面临的问题是弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)一样。事实上,西方面临的问题在于俄罗斯本身。俄罗斯总统的立场与俄罗斯长期以来的思维传统保持一致。他的离开不会解决任何事情。一个正常的继任者依然会采取类似行动,即使在行动魄力方面或许比前任略逊一筹。
The west acts as if it has a Vladimir Putin problem. In fact it has a Russia problem. The Russian president stands within a long tradition of Russian thinking. His departure would fix nothing. Any plausible successor would pursue a similar course, if perhaps with a little less machismo.
俄罗斯的问题不是一个新问题。在200年前,拿破仑时代的末期这个问题就出现了,并且体现出我们今天所谓的价值鸿沟。在19世纪,俄罗斯依然维持着独裁政权,而欧洲则开始走向自由的民主政体。
The Russia problem is not new. It emerged 200 years ago, at the end of the Napoleonic period, with the opening up of what we would today call a values gap. In the 19th century Russia maintained an autocratic regime as Europe moved towards liberal democracy.
然而俄罗斯依然是个大国,与欧洲的安全息息相关。面临一个持不同世界观的强国,欧洲该如何自保?这在当时是个难题,现在也是如此。
