| Summary/Abstract |
This paper looks at Vladimir Putin’s public statements and articles devoted
specially to historical issues which were published in 2019 through 2021
(with reference to the first such article published in 2009). The Russian
President’s statements and extended texts on history are scrutinized in
this paper as political messages having a certain target audience and
political goals. The analysis has revealed a rapid evolution of Putin’s
approach to relations with the West in 2019-2021, from attempts to
reanimate the dialogue to a sharp confrontation.
