DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The West is morally decaying

SUMMARY

The Russian President once again surprises the world with the quality of his political vision based on accurate knowledge of contemporary history and the inclusion of morality in his political approach and his outlook for the future. This takes place while western leaderships are plunged into lies, fallacies, and arrogance resulting from the moral decay of the entire system in Western countries while at the same time pretending to be a model of progress and advancement. For them, obscenities have become “frankness”, lies have become “cunningness”, folly has become “creativity”, and corruption “savvy”!

RESPONSE

This message is in line with a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the West's moral decay aimed at portraying Russia as morally superior to the West. Read similar cases claiming that Western societies are decadent, worship money and are devoted to the obsessive search for pleasure and that Western Europe is moving away from its Christian roots and is dominated by materialism and the pursuit of money.
