DISINFO: The West follows the path of destruction; Russia can become a new ark of civilization

SUMMARY

In the course of the technological and digital transformation of the world, the importance of a solid foundation, a value foundation, is increasing. And if in the West this foundation is being eroded by LGBT, transgender and other agendas, then Russia has its own way. The path that the West has embarked on is the path of destruction. Russia, on the other hand, is ready to become a new ark of human civilization, but only for those who accept Russian traditions, foundations, morals and rules.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying the West as a decadent, depraved and immoral actor fighting against traditional values and endangering societies.

This narrative portrays the Russian civilisation as morally superior to the Western. "Threatened values" is one of the most common narratives used by pro-Kremlin outlets. The narrative is adapted to a wide range of topics and is typically used to discredit liberal Western attitudes regarding the rights of women, ethnic and religious minorities and LGBTIQ groups among others.

Pro-Kremlin outlets often spread the narrative about the deliberate destruction by the West of values such as the traditional family, religion, spirituality and classical culture, eliminating all forms of collective identity. Russia uses this narrative to proclaim itself the defender of traditional social and spiritual values all over the world.

See earlier cases alleging that in contrast to Russia, western Europe is abandoning Christian roots and that, unlike Russia, the West is not about fairness or solidarity and it degrades traditional values and endangers societies, while all-Russian history is highly moral.
