But he took his time, letting the public and the West get used to each small tightening of the screw. A year on the growing repression is clear. The first year of Vladimir Putin's third presidential term has also been eventful: many protesters arrested, Alexei Navalny, an opposition leader, facing prison, and Memorial, a human-rights group founded by Sakharov, under assault with other NGOs. Faced with mass protests by civil activists and ordinary citizens, not politicians, the Kremlin is trying to extend its control to other areas, including the internet and even entertainment magazines which carry protest banners. A problem with Russian politics is that so much of it happens in one man's head. A turn towards repression may not be a sign of Mr Putin's strength, but rather of his fear and desperation. Some advisers say he is worried about instability and is doing as much as he can to eliminate anything or anyone that contributes to it.
