DISINFO: Anglo-Saxons have ugly views about Ukraine
SUMMARY
Russia has no other options as to restore the Russian world by getting Ukraine back. This is not about Donbas or Malorossiya but Ukraine as a whole. Ukrainians are an integral part of the Russian people. Accepting independent Ukraine would amount to the treason of the foundations of the Russian civilisation, including Russian history, belief, and identity. To refuse Ukraine means to stop being Russia.
Anglo-Saxons have two Ukraine-related views. One approach claims that Ukraine should, by all means, be torn away from Russia and turned into a new Poland, that is former Slavic brothers who became enemies. A softer Anglo-Saxon approach views Ukraine as a tool to contain Russia and to bring discord in Russia-Europe relations.
RESPONSE
This is a classic example of recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the Russian world/civilisation and Ukrainian statehood. The publication absurdly suggests that accepting sovereign Ukraine would the end of the Russian world. The "all-Russian nation" is an imperial Russian and Russian revanchist ideology that is a favoured pro-Kremlin narrative aimed at weakening the national identity of Ukrainians, as well as their sovereignty.
Ukraine is a well-defined nation-state with a long history and its own literature and identity, despite foreign rule for long periods of time. Ukrainians and Russians belong to the Slavs ethnolinguistic group but they are not a single nation.
The publication operates with the term “Anglo-Saxons,” which in this context of the vocabulary of pro-Kremlin media means “evil”, “belligerent” and “morally corrupt” Westerners, as explained in our earlier analysis. In this respect, the publication also promotes a propaganda narrative about western anti-Russian activities.
