The Russian war narrative after mobilization
Video Summary
Here is a 200-word summary of the article:
Russia’s narrative about the war has changed, and so has its approach. At the beginning of September, Russia seemed to be making progress in Ukraine, but since then, there have been significant events that have changed the course of the conflict. The Russian government has introduced a new narrative, emphasizing the idea that Ukraine is committing terrorist acts, and that the war is no longer just about Ukraine, but about combatting international terrorism. This change in rhetoric is not just a shift in language, but also a change in strategy. The government is trying to send a message to the Russian people that the war is no longer just about Ukraine, but about the entire world, and that everyone needs to be involved to combat terrorism. This new narrative is aimed at calming the concerns of the Russian people while still trying to mobilize support for the war effort. It remains to be seen how this new narrative will play out, and whether it will lead to increased support for the war or increased dissent among the Russian people.
