布丁跟維尼的世界觀也是很多俄羅斯人與中國人相信並認同的世界觀:
[“These two men have a shared mental map of the world — not perfectly the same, but shared,” said Jude Blanchette, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “Both want to return their countries to a lost inheritance of greatness; both want to reclaim key territories; both have a shared sense of the trauma of the collapse of the Soviet Union.”
「這兩個男人對世界有一種共同的思維——雖然不完全一樣,但有相同之處,」戰略與國際研究中心中國問題專家白明(Jude Blanchette)說。「他們都想把失去的偉大遺產歸還給自己的國家;他們都想收復關鍵領土;他們對蘇聯的解體有共同的創傷感。」]
