Putin leans here on a strange theory advanced by the 20th-century historian and ethnographer Lev Gumilev. The son of two of Russia’s most famous poets, Nikolai Gumilev and Anna Akhmatova, Gumilev maintains that every people possesses a distinct life force: a “bio-cosmic” inner energy or passionate substance that he calls passionarnost. Putin may have known Gumilev in St Petersburg at the start of the 1990s. At any rate, he has embraced his ideas and never misses an opportunity to refer to them. In February last year, he said: “I believe in passionarnost. In nature as in society, there is development, climax and decline. Russia has not yet attained its highest point. We are on the way”. According to him, Russia carries the power and potential of a young people. “We possess an infinite genetic code”, he has said. In addition to Gumilev, Putin relies on another thinker – a minor figure in the history of Russian thought. Last October, he spoke of regularly consulting a collection of political essays titled “Our Tasks”, the major work of Ivan Ilyin, who died in 1954. In one of the president’s preferred essays, “What does the world seek from the dismemberment of Russia?”, Ilyin denounces the country’s “imperialist neighbours”, these “western peoples who neither understand nor accept Russian originality”. In the future, he suggests, these countries will inevitably attempt to seize territories such as the Baltic countries, the Caucasus, central Asia and, especially, Ukraine. The method, according to Ilyin, will be the hypocritical promotion of values such as “freedom” in order to transform Russia into “a gigantic Balkans”. The final object is to “dismember Russia, to subject her to western control, to dismantle her and in the end make her disappear”. It is necessary, then, to understand that what is actually happening in Ukraine is the result of a vision of Russia that is deeply embedded in the mind of Putin. In 2008, he punished Georgia for its desire to leave the orbit of the old imperial power. In 2014, he annexed Crimea and prevented Ukraine from joining Nato by starting the Donbas conflict. But that is not enough for him. He wants a confrontation with – and a victory over – a west that he holds responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union, for the weakness of Russia in the 1990s, and for the autonomous tendencies of the old Soviet republics.

請回想一下文中普丁在提到古米廖夫的「激情力」理論時，他如何描述俄羅斯目前所處的發展階段？特別是當他提到「最高點（highest point）」和「年輕民族（young people）」這些詞彙時，是在暗示這個國家的發展已經完成了，還是仍在往上攀升的過程中呢？

普丁對「激情力」的詮釋
太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文章中複雜的政經思想，這代表你具備非常優異的閱讀細節能力。普丁對古米廖夫（Gumilev）理論的認同，核心在於他將「激情力（passionarnost）」視為一種民族發展的生命能量。文章中明確引述普丁的話：「俄羅斯尚未達到其最高點（not yet attained its highest point）」，且稱俄羅斯擁有「年輕民族的力量與潛力（potential）」。因此，選項 (A) 指出俄羅斯人尚未達到其「潛能頂峰」，完全契合原文的論述脈絡。
