Russian aggression: past, psychology, future

Russian aggression: past, psychology, future

Why does Russia go to war again and again? Why is its history a history of conquest, fear and sacrifice passed off as valor? Why do soldiers die not for ideas, but for the habit of obedience? This book is an attempt to take an honest and in-depth look at the phenomenon of Russian aggression. We do not justify or accuse. We analyze. From the legacy of the Golden Horde to today's geopolitics, from the dominant mother to the phantom "Motherland", from childhood fairy tales to hybrid wars - a clear logical chain is built. Russia is presented not as a deviation from the norm, but as a civilization of a special type, where aggression is not an exception, but a cultural and mental standard. We explore the role of women in the cultivation of submission, the role of men in the broadcasting of repressed rage, and show why it is impossible to transform this model without pain. Is it possible to break out of the historical circle if one does not realize it? Will Russia have a future without an enemy image? And isn't aggression itself the final glue holding together a disintegrating identity? This book is for those who are willing to look in the mirror without distortion.
