"He enjoys the misfortune of others"
For Marc Hayat, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who analyzed Vladimir Putin's behavior, "He's in a parallel world, we could perhaps even speak of a delusional construction."
Manipulator, madman, calculator, dictator, many words have been used to describe the personality of the Russian number 1. For Marc Hayat, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst:
"What we observe is a dynamic, a way of functioning that we usually call paranoia, there's a feeling of persecution, a feeling of pride, of invulnerability that are characteristics of paranoid functioning."
For Marc Hayat: "It 's the perversity aspect that is probably the most worrying in Vladimir Putin, a complete drying up of the heart, of being effectionate, as well as a pathological enjoyment of the misfortune of others, a will to destroy everything that concerns his relationship to the world in violence, hatred and terror."
For the psychiatrist, head physician at the Parisian Society for Aid to Mental Health, one of the elements of his psychology, his "narcissistic fusion" is extremely dangerous:
"He speaks to his people about their history, the greatness of the Russian people, their culture, and in particular of course about the war that he led against Nazism, pointing out that the Russians are an extraordinary people."
