The West, in the manner of truly civilized countries, after getting rid of Moscow’s corruption, will begin a self-cleaning
The West does not know a lot about Putin, and this is the problem of Western civilization. Because somehow it happened that this civilization, to which we ourselves belong to, meaning the Western world, has, during the entire existence of Muscovy, and then the stolen-from-us name of Rus and the renamed Russia, been under a very strong informational (to use today’s language), pressure.
So, the lies about Muscovy did not begin from Putin, it began from the emergence of this state entity.

And the field is not even plowed.
How long will the West draw conclusions about Russia? Every day of delay is the death of Ukrainian defenders, it is the loss of our lives which hits the closest. For someone in the West, this is a continuation of the theory “Maybe we can still not finish Russia off completely, but give it a chance to somehow be reborn, maybe some democracy will grow there someday,” and similar nonsense, because there is no other way to call it. Because it is impossible to artificially grow democracy in a country that has never been democratic at all. This has never happened in history.
All societies went through certain stages of their development and gradually acquired certain features. It was not only during the times of Marxism-Leninism that it was said that Mongolia had jumped over capitalism and became socialist. More nonsense. The same cannot be done in Russia. Russia cannot be democratic by definition, because it must go through several generations of gradually getting used to everything…
