Tucker Carlson interview of Vladimir Putin surprised because it was utterly conventional, says Julian Zelizer .
Putin obstinately filibustered, explained, and talked around the questions and, in some cases, rewrote history.
Putin is both subtle and strangely transparent for a Russian leader, he's serious, something lacking among Western leaders, Zelizer says.
Putin mused on the question and then claimed he is defending the motherland, that it’s his Christian duty to defend Russia against the aggression of the West in Ukraine .
Putin described a good relationship with George W. Bush and talked about wanting a closer relationship with the West after the fall of the USSR .
He then dropped, casually, into the conversation Russia 's excellent hypersonic missiles.
