Jade McGlynn -The Myths Fuelling Acquiescence, Indifference and Support for Russian's War in Ukraine
Is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine about territory and resources, or is it about much more? An aging tyrant seeking to create a legacy or even lift flagging popularity ratings. Is it a struggle to control historical memory, or evidence of a country trapped by historical myths and delusions? Is there a coherent ideology behind the regime, or just a messy collage of propagandistic tropes? Russia seems to be unclear on its objectives and motivations, but Ukraine could not be clearer. Ukraine’s struggle is one for identify, culture, language and even survival, but it’s also a struggle to retain the right to question and reshape national history and not be sucked back into someone else’s imperial narrative.
