Why Post-War Russia Will Fall into the Same Historical Trap That Created Hitler

After defeat, Russia may not repent. It may search for betrayal — and revenge. 👉 What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia:    • What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia   In this episode, Elvira Bary compares post-war Russia with Germany after the First World War and asks a dangerous question: what happens to a country that expected victory but receives humiliation, economic stress, dead soldiers, angry veterans, and no satisfying triumph? Germany’s defeat produced the “stab-in-the-back” myth, a comforting lie that protected national pride and helped open the road to Hitler. Post-war Russia may face a similar trap: wounded imperial pride, propaganda, censorship, veterans trained in violence, and a public tempted to believe not “we were wrong,” but “we were betrayed.” The challenge for the West is not appeasement, but helping create a path to Russian dignity without empire and without revenge.
