He certainly gives some detailed responses. I don't believe he is being honest, but definitely some interesting points.
You can tell that he resents the West kept pushing their agenda after Cold War. From his perspective, the end of the Cold War should have stopped the West from pursuing relations with countries is Russia's sphere. But then he was also stating that Russia has no desire to interfere in the business of others. It is quite contradictory.
His point about democracy in Russia and the West is interesting though. He acknowledges that democracy in Russia is a work in progress rather than a revolution. Meanwhile, he pointed out that Russia has more direct democracy than the U.S. where money and the electoral delegate system very much interferes with the democratic process.
