When Hungary, Moldova and Romania give passports to Ukrainians it is not considered an interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine. But when Russia does it, it is considered so. Giving passports to Ukrainians in Hungary and Romania is not seen as an aggression. Giving Russian passports in Donbas is seen as an aggression. The reason is one and very simple. “The West” does not think of Russians as people. Hungarians and Romanians, as members of the EU are seen as masters in Ukraine, that is why they are allowed to do anything.
Western media describe Russia is a danger to Western “liberal democracy”. But the West puts all efforts in degrading and discrediting traditional values, the deliberate rejection of these values and the transition to fictional, unstable and malignant structures, pseudo-values, which endanger society. The Russian system of values, although different from the Western one, is something that should be sought. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the right-wing parties in the West want to cooperate with Russia.
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative aimed at portraying the West as depraved, an immoral actor fighting against traditional values and endangering societies. The idea of Moscow being the protector of traditional values is not new and is part of the notion of Moscow being the Third Rome.
'Threatened values' is one of the most common narratives used by pro-Kremlin outlets.
