For Dmitri Trenin, director of the Carnegie Center in Moscow,
Europe has ceased to be "homeland", "sacred" or even "friend".
To today's Russia it is simply "Eurasia stretching from Ireland
to Japan." The strategic goal of developing close cooperation
and political alliance with Europe – an idea that still
fascinated the minds of liberal intellectuals and politicians in
Russia during the 1990s – is now considered unworkable, if not
harmful. Russia's progress is no longer connected to its
European roots. Timofei Bordashev, a leading Moscow analyst,
opines that "it is impossible to move forward without departing
from an essential part of [our] own heritage, including perhaps
its core: the European character of the Russian state."6. Europe
as a source of innovation is considered exhausted.
We got everything we needed from Europe a long time ago,”
Karaganov and other like-minded political analysts soberly and
coolly observe. "Everything else," they say, "either we already
have it or it's just unattainable because we can't handle it:
from a historical point of view, Russia is an authoritarian
state. (…) It is time Telegram Number Data

to stop being ashamed of the fact that we
are historically linked to an authoritarian system of government
and not to liberal democracy»7. Ultimately, that's what it's all
about. What worries the angry men in the Kremlin is not
"Gayropa" – a cuckoo produced for domestic consumption – but the
fundamental political ideals and values ​​of the
European Union: human dignity and freedom, the rule of law,
democracy and tolerance.

It is these aspects of Europe's heritage that the Kremlin
rulers, presiding over an increasingly repressive authoritarian
regime, cannot handle. But these "European values" are already
universal. The younger generations got it. They win the streets
of the entire vast country to challenge the elites in power. The
rulers of the Kremlin, for their part, also seem to understand
this. But now, ever ready to resort to concealment techniques,
they brand the entire European heritage as "toxic." In his view,
Russia does better when it uncouples its "wagon" from the
European "crazy train." But it is clear that this is nothing
more than a reactionary utopia.The truth about the Ukrainian far
right Aris Roussinos Ukraine is not a Nazi state, as Putin's
propaganda claims, but an imperfect democracy. But the far right
and the neo-Nazis do have a military weight that they have been
gaining to a great extent on the battlefield, and they hurt not
Russia, but Ukraine itself.
