Prepares the Russians for an attack on the West: Putin forms in the Russian Federation state ideology of ultranationalism - isw isw

To spread: Russian President Vladimir Putin contributes to the formation of informal state ideology in the Russian Federation, which would be based on extreme Russian nationalism to position themselves in opposition to the West, thus preparing society to attack it. This is stated in the report of the American Institute for War Study (ISW).

"Russian President Vladimir Putin contributes to the formation of informal state ideology based on Russian nationalism, which positions Russia in opposition to the West, within the framework of constant efforts to militarize and unify Russian society," the report reads.

In particular, it is an example when Putin awarded only the Russian Orthodox priest on May 22, but did not note the representatives of other denominations, despite the fact that the Russian state formally considers Russian Orthodoxy, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism "traditional" religions in Russia. "Earlier, Putin emphasized the contribution of ethnic and religious minorities to the development of Russia at high-level events and often promoted civic Russian identity and nationalism.

Putin's departure from this rhetoric at a high-rated event on May 22 could be an attempt to reassure more and more prominence. Analysts emphasized that Putin is also trying to use the statements awarded to the creation of informal state ideology based on the perpetuation of the belief that the event is determined to win Russia, thereby justifying the future military conflict against the West for the Russian public.

"Putin will probably expand the efforts to unite Russian society against the imaginary threat from the West and the development of the elite class of militarized nationalists to ensure that any successor will embody the same aggressive and dangerous ideals that will perpetuate the eternal conflict with the West and NATO.

" In addition, analysts recalled that the chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Basrykin is one of the most outstanding Russian ultrationalists in Putin's closest environment and spoke to support the inclusion of informal state ideology based on Russian nationalism, in the Constitution of Russia. Recall that Trump's exader John Bolton explained under what conditions Russia would attack NATO.
