ІДЕОЛОГІЯ РАШИЗМУ ЯК ПОЛІТИЧНИЙ ФЕНОМЕН РЕЖИМУ ПУТІНА

Abstract

The article examines the term «racism» and states that it is a socio-political practice and ideology based on russian imperialism and chauvinism, the traditions of the communist regime of the USSR and national socialism, which was condemned by the Nuremberg trials. The signs of V. Putin’s regime are listed, in particular, militarism, the cult of the leader and the sacralization of state institutions, the self-aggrandizement of the russian federation through violent oppression and/or denial of the existence of other nations, the imposition of the russian language and culture on other nations, the promotion of the ideas of the «russian world», systematic violation of norms and principles of international law, sovereign rights of other states, their territorial integrity and internationally recognized borders. It has been established that one of the tools of spreading the ideology of racism is the use of symbols that include the Latin letters «Z», «V». It was noted that the use and propaganda of the symbols of the military invasion of Ukraine is a socially dangerous act and significantly threatens the foundations of Ukraine’s national security. The key tenets of the ideology of racism regarding the war in Ukraine, which are used by Russian propaganda to justify the crime of aggression, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, have been studied. It was emphasized that the principle of justice and the supremacy of international law should not be debatable but should be understood equally by all states of the world.
