Андрей Зорин и Роман Доброхотов о сходстве современной России с Германией 30-х годов

As part of the Revolver program, The Insider editor-in-chief Roman Dobrokhotov discussed with historian and Oxford University professor Andrei Zorin the similarities between the regimes in modern Russia and what happened in Germany in the 1930s. Also in the issue: — How legitimate is it to compare Putin's regime with Hitler's, given that fascism was the most hated ideology in the USSR and Russia for many years? Is Putin a supporter of fascism? — Can artists change anything in public consciousness? — The role of literature in national life: should it influence politics? — Is the fashion for canceling writers evidence of the new generation's overly primitive view of art? Will we ever again turn to the classics without running them through the prism of modern morals? — Why, despite the trends of the 90s, has Russia not become a liberal democratic country? — About the terrible myths of Russian literature that lead to sad outcomes, since these myths are based on a strong tsar and boyars; — “There will be changes,” — about what Russia will be like after the war.
