putin was talking about what he was saying was the west excluding russia and russians from cultural and sporting spheres. he compared this to nazi germany burning books and said it was about russia s culture and heritage trying to be stamped out by the west. what it is probably more likely to do is it s about president putin trying to ramp up support in the russian public telling them the west hates them and is against them. this discussion about culture wars and cancel culture is something we ve heard from the kremlin before, it s something they ve ridiculed about the west, so it s relatively easy hit to talk about it again. it s about president putin trying to control the narrative about what s happening in ukraine and what the russian people here and given the few numbers of independent media that are still operating in russia this message meet many millions of people s gears and it will lodge in many millions of minds here. caroline, thank you. lyse doucet in
