More Putin pulling from the neoconservative playbook.
The hyper-chauvanist white nationalism that became politically mainstream after the collapse of the USSR was as much a creature of American right-wing propaganda in Russia as it was a native beast.
Just like how Henry Ford swamped Germany with antisemitic rhetoric by way of his “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” during the 1910s, conservative mass media blanketed Eastern Europe and Russia during the 90s/00s.
