No summary paragraph submitted.
Nikolay KoposovNikolay Koposov, Distinguished Professor of the Practice in the School of History and Sociology and School of Literature, Media, and Communication, published "Nobody Knows What Russians Want. Not Even Russians Themselves" in the online magazine Eurozine on March 22, 2022.
"The Russian nation has, in short, lost its subjectivity. Putin and United Russia control the parliament due to the rigged elections, and have appropriated the right to speak on Russia’s behalf. Expressions such as ‘Russia wants’ or ‘Russia claims’ have no meaning today. We do not know what Russia wants, and the Russians do not know either. And Russia claims nothing because it is not in a position to claim anything," Koposov wrote.
