DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The Russian civilisation is unique in treating all people equally

SUMMARY

The West sticks to racial attitudes and treats others as barbarians. The Russian civilisation is unique because it is the only one which treats all people, irrespective of their origin, as equal.

RESPONSE

This is consistent with the pro-Kremlin narrative on the morally corrupt West aimed at portraying Russia as superior to the West in terms of values and morals.

The Russian civilisation, or the Russian world concept is an imperial Russian and Russian irredentist ideology. The claim that it treats all people as equal is absurd. Read our earlier analysis on how the Kremlin has been systematically dehumanising and demonising Ukrainians instilling the belief into the public and the Russian armed forces, that Ukrainian existence is inherently threatening and must be quashed.

Read earlier disinformation cases claiming that the West is in decay, only Russian civilisation can save the world from collapse, that demonic Western civilisation is leading humanity straight into abyss, and that Western civilisation established a destructive ideology, Russia opposes it.
