       These days, however, the Kremlin proclaims that Russia is an
       autonomous civilization that differs from the European one. The
       country's leading political thinkers say Russia needs to break
       free of Eurocentric ideas. According to political scientist
       Sergey Karaganov, “for 100 years there has been talk of the
       'decline' of Europe. But now it seems that a critical stage has
       been reached. In Rossiya v globalnoj politike, Russia's leading
       foreign policy magazine, Karaganov claims that the Europe of the
       European Union rejects "many fundamental European values
       ​​that have become part of Russian identity." The
       'new' values ​​and 'ideologies' of the European
       Union – offensive democracy promotion, minority rights,
       feminism, LGBTI rights, movements like Black Lives Matter or
       MeToo – are 'toxic.

       objectives are clear in Diego Velázquez's
       painting The Surrender of Breda (1634-1635), which shows a
       defeated Dutch commander handing over the key to the city of
       Breda to his Spanish adversary. The Dutch soldiers are few and
       their weapons are broken. In contrast, the victorious Spaniards
       stand proud, their spears raised. This painting, commissioned by
       Philip IV of Spain, was intended to promote the king's
       reputation as the country entered an economic decline.

       The viewer was not expected to be disturbed by its content and
       was likely to be impressed by the size of the work and the skill
       of the artist. The painting was the confirmation of stately and
       courtly power and is considered one of Velázquez's best works.
       Artistic depictions of warfare are still used for propaganda
       purposes today, but advances in printing technology in the 19th
       century greatly increased their reach. The mass production and
       consumption of both art and war became possible. The viewer no
       longer had to look for the art that represented the war, it was
       the art that looked for the viewer. First used as mass
       propaganda in World War I, art was used by warring nations to
       mobilize support for their war effort, gather donations,
       encourage participation in war bonds, and publicize victories in
       notable battles by general public.
