So, in summary, the amount of attention granted by Western audience, and especially Russia experts, to Putin’s interviews seems to surpass the amount granted by audience in Russia by an order of magnitude.
Also, while Russian audience remained generally unamused or ironic, Western audience approached Putins’ interview dead serious.
🤷
Because the west never hears, except through great effort, what Mr. Putin has to say. So of course interest here is higher.
As a comparison, I can't remember the last time I listened to a State of the Union address. I pick up the details later.

how that can be true? The west don't know how to use search?
