Cult of the "Great Patriotic War": the Myth of "Victory" as the Foundation of Putin's Regime

For decades, the Russian authorities have been forming the cult of the Great Patriotic War, turning the myth of Victory into a key element of state ideology. Today, this myth is used to justify aggression, authoritarianism, and rewriting history. In the new issue of the Hybrid Operations project, we analyze how the past has become a tool of manipulation - and why Russia is no longer building the future, but only selling the past. Please keep discussions on this channel clean and respectful and refrain from using racist or sexist slurs and personal insults. #TheGaze #Ukraine #UkraineNews #UkraineWarUpdates #RussiaPropaganda #VictoryMyth #HybridWarfare #RussianHistory #PutinRegime #WWII #SovietMyth #HistoricalManipulation #GreatPatrioticWar #RussianIdeology
