Putin is now making the same mistake as his Soviet forebears. Despite his 2013 declaration that Russia should be focusing on the “literate use” of soft power, he failed to capitalize on the soft-power boost afforded to Russia by hosting the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.
普京正在犯与其苏联前辈一样的错误。尽管他在2013年宣布俄罗斯应该专注于“精于使用”软实力，但他并没有利用好主办2014年索契冬奥会给俄罗斯带来的提振软实力的机会。
