Why is Russia so hostile to the “West”? An attempt at a cultural history | Ep. 165

December 13, 2022

Russian hostile propaganda against the "West" and the democratic world has been getting ever more insane over the past years. But the "anti-Western" topics in Russian propaganda have deep cultural roots.

The opposition to the "West" has been a recurrent topic in the thinking of key Russian intellectual figures, regardless of their ideology. In this episode, we try to analyze and understand these roots.

Hosts: Volodymyr Yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher and journalist, chief editor of UkraineWorld.org, and Tetyana Ogarkova, Ukrainian scholar and journalist, in charge of international outreach at the Ukraine Crisis Media Centre. Support us at patreon.com/ukraineworld
