Abstract

Osteuropa documents a speech by the Russian president on September 30, 2022. It was held on the occasion of a “celebration”, but even the speaker does not feel like celebrating. A brief howl of triumph is followed by tirades of hatred against the West. By way of positive program, Putin has on offer: destiny, battlefields, history.
