The World in Images"Time to move to Russia"

14/02/2023

Posted five months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this provocative video tries to convince Westerners to move to Russia. It has a glorious history, low-cost gas, and apparently, beautiful and available women. It's an ad that reflects the ultra-conservative turn the country's taken under President Putin.


Vladimir Donn, a journalist familiar with the Russian TV industry, breaks down the meaning of the short film.


Marlène Laruelle, political scientist, tells us about the construction of this new national identity.
