Chests by Alvaro Groznyy

It's not healthy to believe your own propaganda. Unfortunately Vladimir Putin buys his own distorted views of Russian history which he then peddles to people like Tucker Carlson who are utterly clueless about Eastern Europe.

Masha Lavrova of The Kyiv Independent interviewed British historian Dr. Jade McGlynn of the Department of War Studies at King’s College London.

Putin's deformation of history is a major feature of what has been driving Russia's aggression.

Putin's attempt to restore the glories of the Russian Empire only serves to weaken Russia in the 21st century. But Putin's grandiose self-deception probably keeps him from acknowledging this.

Dr. McGlynn points out that Putin simply doesn't accept Ukraine as a real country. That's the root of the problem.

If we look at what Putin has said about Ukraine, you know, even if we only go back to 2014, there's plenty of evidence that this is not going to be solved by just giving him a little bit more of Ukrainian land. This is about a war to reshape the global order and, in Russia's view, it has the right, and also it has the need. [ … ] Because Russia is a "great state" and Ukraine is a "colony", it will therefore either be a colony of the West, which he [Putin] doesn't want, or be a colony of Russia, which he does want.

She blames the lack of understanding by some alleged Russia specialists in the West on their inability to understand Russian. They are simply unable to understand Putin and the context of what he's been saying for the past 10 years.

Speaking of Russian, in the vid Dr. McGlynn uses the Russian name for Ivan the Terrible which is Ivan Groznyy — or Иван Грозный in Cyrillic script.

Do you know what Groznyi, Aleppo, Mariupol, and plenty of other towns and villages have in common? russian impunity. It is the strongest force which drives russian terrorism fwd. Even kremlin appeasers realize that, they just hope that the next target will be not their town.

I was doing some reading on the bombings of Grozny earlier, and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Putin also known as the Butcher of Grozny?

Technically, I believe that title is held (or also held, it's unclear) by Russian general Aleksandr Dvornikov, who presided over the wholesale destruction of Groznyy (in Chechnya) and Aleppo (in Syria), and then was also appointed to head up the war in Ukraine in 2022. However, since this was also done on Putin's orders and under Putin's regime, it is certainly a title/responsibility he shares in.

I wrote a post last year about the deliberate strategy of genocide and genocide denialism in post-Soviet Russia, including Chechnya and Syria, and how that was applied to the war in Ukraine, which might shed some light on how what they're doing in Ukraine was directly informed by previous undertakings, including the total destruction of Groznyy and the constant targeting of civilians in Syria (and then lying about it later). So yes, that might also be useful.

Apparently the production team behind “Sofia” and “Godunov” (which I’m finally making my way through the second season of) are reuniting for another Riurikid-themed series, this one called “Groznyi,” or “The Terrible,” about, you guessed it, Ivan the Terrible. It’s the logical next step, in a lot of ways. The casting here is interesting--they’re double-casting it, with a young and older Ivan, the younger played by Aleksandr Yatsenko (known to fans of Russian period dramas as Peter III in “Yekaterina”), the older by Sergei Makovetskii (who played the role of Ivan the Terrible for two episodes in “Godunov,” where he was very good!). Also making an appearance (presumably a cameo) is Yevgeny Tsyganov, as Ivan III, Ivan the Terrible’s grandfather, the role he played in “Sofia” (he also had a cameo as Ivan the Terrible’s son in “Godunov”!). 

I’m really curious to see what direction this show goes in. “Sofia,” though enjoyable in a lot of ways, was an exercise in some pretty intense jingoism, between Ivan III expelling the Mongol overlords from Muscovy and the absolutely deranged framing device of Ivan the Terrible’s glorious coronation, which the show represented as the culmination of Russian history. “Godunov” takes a more measured approach, which it can get away with, given Boris Godunov’s status as an in-between tsar of uncertain legitimacy. But “Godunov” does portray Ivan the Terrible killing his eldest son in a fit of rage, an event that most likely did happen but that Russian conservatives have disputed for over a hundred years at this point. I was surprised and impressed that they were willing to paint Ivan in such a bad light--I hope they bring that measured, darker approach to “Groznyi” as well. (Though “Godunov” has its own jingoistic leanings in its almost cloyingly saintly depiction of Fyodor Romanov, the father of Mikhail Romanov, the first Romanov tsar. Why the show feels it needs to spend its time sucking up to a dynasty that was overthrown a century ago is beyond me. (I mean, I get it. I just don’t like it.))
