DISINFO: Olympic Games proved that the West is the Devil and must be destroyed

SUMMARY

The opening of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris proves that the West is cursed. Anyone who does not immediately take up arms to destroy this satanic civilisation, which frankly never existed, is an accomplice.

The West is the devil. The West, therefore the devil, began to systematically penetrate Russia as early as the 17th century. Slavophiles in the 19th century recognised it and raised the alarm. This had an effect but did not prevent further decline. We are starting to brake only now. This will succeed only if God is with us. For this, Russia must be God’s; we must become his people, his followers, true Russian Christians. One can only pray and fight, as if before death, for the last time.

The Special Military Operation is a war against Satan, against the West, against the Olympic Games, where the rebel titans of Tartarus have supplanted the gods and taken their place. The West must be destroyed.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative on the morally corrupt West and hate speech about an alleged decay in western civilisation. This is also an attempt to justify the unprovoked war of Ukraine portraying it as an alleged holy war against the devil.

This narrative criticises of 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony which took place on 26 July 2024 in Paris to imply that the West is cursed, encouraging people to support the war in Ukraine and conflicts with Europe. This is hate speech using the authority of God and Satan to justify existing and upcoming war crimes and crimes against humanity.

President Vladimir Putin often positions himself as a saviour of Russia’s values and identity from the threat of Western decadence, and claims to be the only world leader who protects traditional European and Christian values. “Threatened values” is one of the most common narratives used by pro-Kremlin outlets.
