Fantastic piece from Sveta on Putin's speech at the Valdai Discussion Club!
svetayefimenko.bsky.social Sveta Yefimenko @svetayefimenko.bsky.social · Dec 3
New piece from me arguing that the Kremlin's narratives are familiarly ideological: "The bogeyman is no longer capitalism as such, but what Putin described at Valdai as the 'greed of those Western elites,' with 'elite' being today’s hip, populist term for 'bourgeois.'"

The Russian president's speech at the Valdai Discussion Club was full of paranoia and propaganda.
