Russia's Fanatic Quest for Immortality and the Threat to Europe
In the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, understanding the ideological drivers of Moscow’s aggression has become more crucial than ever. In this talk, Anton Shekhovtsov, a leading expert on the European far right and Russian political influence, explores how the Kremlin’s pursuit of “civilizational immortality” fuels its expansionist ambitions and shapes its confrontation with the West. Drawing on his extensive research into Russian propaganda, nationalism, and transnational networks, Shekhovtsov will unpack how these narratives threaten Europe’s security and what they reveal about the regime’s worldview and future trajectory.
