Russia Against Modernity Etkind Alexander
Putin's war is a "special operation" against modernity. By trading oil and gas, promoting Trump and Brexit, spreading corruption, boosting inequality and homophobia, subsidizing far-right movements and destroying Ukraine, Putin's clique aims at suppressing the ongoing transformation of modern societies.Alexander Etkind distinguishes between Russia's pompous, weaponized paleomodernity, on the one hand, and the lean, decentralized gaiamodernity of the Anthropocene, on the other. The invasion has been directed against Ukraine, but the war has a broader target: the modern world of climate awareness, energy transition and digital labor.
Working on political, cultural and even demographic levels, social mechanisms Putin's clique has used various strategies - from climate denialism and electoral interference to war and genocide - to resist and subvert modernity.
