The changes in Russia since Vladimir Putin s election are striking both in material and symbolic spheres. In sociological level one can observe the emergence of a hegemonic masculinity and hypermasculine establishing a hierarchy and order in society. It is therefore important to question about how the political foundation is sustained and to what extent these relations are articulated to creating a certain social order that marginalizes, excludes and hierarchizes. In this way, the state as a practice of power relations and dichotomies produces spaces of exclusions that ultimately are conditions of possibility of political agency. With the Coloured Revolutions, the possibility of a foreign intervention inside Russia was transformed in a constant paranoia. The West, then appears as a moral space of threats and dangers; more than that, accept and defend a Western lifestyle becomes an example of anti-patriotism and object of the definition of both internal and external limits. In this sense, we can establish a relationship between the formulation of foreign / foreign policy in the establishment of threats and dangers for a particular narrative about Russia. Therefore, the matryoshka is an exceptional figure: dolls that define the boundaries of the other successively, but always keep something inside. The rise of Vladimir Putin and political narratives necessarily permeate social issues and key policies for International Relations: safety and danger, internal and external, authority and exclusion.
