Putin-Emmanuel convention ... The interior incarceration strategy is still chasing Russia down abroad.
On May 29th a reporter stood up in the hall of the Palace of Versailles and skeptically directed a question to President Putin after his speech about to what extent his leadership is meant to ensure freedom of journalism, human rights as he assured his step for more openness towards the outside world by fostering cultural exchange as maintained to work on this path with France, "I would love to see more French people speaking Russian and so as with regard to French for Russian students," said Putin.

It's one of the investigative inquiries directed to Mr. Putin at the joint conference with his French newly elected counterpart Emmanuel Macron. This because of unpleasant image of Russia regarding its record of clamping down on some civil liberties culminated in the latest controversial law "Foreign Agent" enacted in Nov 2012, it stipulates that NGOs, whether human rights groups or devoted to other civil independent liberties are threat to national security which accused of espionage, must be revoked of their licences.
Mr. Putin consequently, exposed to this in an attempt to read the reaction from a leader far away from being up-close to the EU ambitions. This leader has been on the contradictory side of the NATO-controlled zone, as long as Kremlin has been implementing the tit-for-tat policy for installing the status of military equilibrium on the ground which aims at curbing NATO's influence.
The atmosphere inside the hall peaked in the question of the controversial Russian meddling in the meddling in the election in foreign countries either by cyberbullying that Moscow has been accused of or by hosting prominent political figures to discuss issues proved to have been a stark intervention in foreign affairs entailing more setback in the road of diplomatic ties due to its remoteness from the media in terms of what was being discussed. Therefore, needless for the masses to know that the loser in the French electoral contest had been hosted by Putin maybe several times, she showed her disapproval of EU sanctions against Russia and French membership in NATO.
Putin flatteringly answered, "As for the alleged intervention I have nothing to discuss with my French partner about this matter, it's all about press game."
It tacitly shows that Putin didn't come to French to discuss matters devoid of proofs, he came with a task of flipping over the past record and opening up a new conduit of understanding with France that might be leading to perfect ties with this neighborliness. This was obviously brought up in his discourse that can be characterized by leniency.
One may wonder if Putin is very naive to this degree came from Moscow to celebrate the third anniversary of Franco-Russian historical relations that took place when Peter the Great visited France and spent some time there in 1717. I don't think so, Putin is primarily very interested in figuring out the future plans of NATO and how will it move on in the region, as well as, how the newly elected Macron will handle his attitude towards Russian-French relation in his next 5 years ahead in the office. Moreover, the Syrian crisis is immensely a central concern to see if his foothold in that conflict-ridden area would go on according to his concerted plan of keeping Assad's alive.
It's rarely that France to be visited from Russian high-profile officials to celebrate this occasion that we barely hear about, the history didn't testify the fact of Russian diplomatic shuttle organized specially for cherishing intercultural integration overseas. Russia doesn't much pay close attention to such ties at the leadership's level. Russian diplomatic shuttle when lands down, it's prepared for political and economic motives. Of course, the military exchange is always on the agenda. However, military exchange with Euro Zone seems far-fetched with Russia at the moment.
Thus, Putin's visit came on time under the cover of celebrating the third anniversary of Franco-Russian relations to put glue on the festering cleavage in the path of diplomatic relations that have been deteriorated since EU imposed sanctions against Russia over Ukrainian crisis in 2014 after military intervention there including seizing Crimea.
For that reason, Russia at some point declares the compromise over the rifts to find an exit out of its intransigence policy that got used to holding the willingness of compromise back. It, however, compelled to make it when the military equation is exposed to imminent risks. The Syrian fatal sectarian crisis brought out many instances of Russian solid position that denies acquiescence to the dictations of the foreign sponsors of domestic fighting parties. Furthermore, Russia denies the fact of coercive military intervention at international arena claiming it's legitimate came after an urgent request for protection from Russian leadership which is not violation according to the international law. It explicitly denies the term of orgy policy in the Middle East or Ukraine as accused by many western aspects.
As such, Putin's visit in France has some dimensions. First, Syrian battlefield where foreign military arms are fighting constitute a big threat to the Russian arm -the protector of Assad's regime- there which necessitates it to increase intelligence collaboration with the Western agencies that their countries back up those homegrown militias or foreign-sponsored mercenaries. In another word, it's a proxy war each of which is looking forward fortifying its position which the intelligence provides an update for Russia and the USA for instance about how the battle is being managed. As France has a presence there, it's a good chance to not miss out on to have an understanding concerning the ongoing battle there.
Second, Russia has that strategy of twisting the arm of the entire Western World, and by paying such visit that the cultural exchange lies ahead a policy of openness, comes to show a strong message that is not all about a military orgy.
