Post-Truth and Pre-Fascism
The speaker reflects on a decade in Russia where the idea of truth was aggressively undermined by the Kremlin, with the message being that nothing can be trusted. The narrative pushed was that the West is as corrupt as Russia, all media is propaganda, and truth holds no value. The call was for a strong leader to guide through this dark period, embodying the concept that post-truth is just pre-fascism.
