Russian propaganda ramps up threats, quoting Tarantino on air
Once again, in Vladimir Solovyov's propagandist program, one of the main topics is threats directed towards the West. As one of the "experts" in the studio noted, Quentin Tarantino's films explicitly show that European society understands only the language of force. The Russians twisted everything, and the result was both amusing and frightening.
The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for over two years now. During this time, propagandist media in Russia have undergone a massive transformation. With each passing month of the conflict, they increasingly talk about the struggle of Russians against the entire West. The methods of conducting this struggle have also changed, which seems to prepare society for a confrontation.
Vladimir Solovyov's program is leading in this field of propaganda, similar to before the war. Since 2012, the man has been hosting "Evening with Vladimir Solovyov" on Russia-1, watched by millions of citizens. After the escalation on February 24, 2022, it became so important for propaganda that its airtime was extended.
So far, its script has been simple. It usually involves inviting a few guests, among whom there is one opponent of the thesis posed by the host, whom the others mock and ridicule on the air. However, now extreme experts appear much more frequently, talking about potential targets and moves of the Russian army.
Quoting Tarantino and explaining potential attacks on Russian TV
The situation was no different in one of the recent programs, where a guest started referring to Quentin Tarantino's character. The way he makes films and a quote from one of them was supposed to confirm that the only thing Europeans understand is the language of violence.
As an example confirming this thesis, he chose the film "The Hateful Eight" and the character of John Ruth, who, during a conversation with Daisy, said that he wants them to develop a communication system. She should shut up when he elbows her straight in the face.
As the Russian in the studio stated, it's similar with Europeans. They should not understand the language of diplomacy or red lines, only strong blows to the face. As he emphasized with the host's approval, in his opinion, the current situation and escalation of the conflict are leading precisely to such a blow to the face by Russians against the West.
