Unboxing Russia: new episode! Perceptions rather than realities: how the US elections are seen in Russia and India - fears, hopes, and their interchangeability; myths and misconceptions; projections and wishful thinking galore. Indeed, it’s a Global Festival of Cognitive Biases - a feast for the observant mind, if somewhat unsavory for the eye. One element, though, is missing: the Shock and Awe of 2016 or the Brinkmanship Drama of 2020. You can’t act all distracted by surprise the second time in a row, and, indeed, since 2020, humanity - and its political class - has seen sights that make Trump look positively bland and normal by comparison. In this episode, we analyze how Moscow and New Delhi perceive a Trump presidency, explore the diverse interpretations of "woke" and "liberal" across these countries, and examine Trump’s portrayal in Russian and Indian public consciousness and mass culture. The Russian Trump and the Indian Trump are distinctive creatures with personalities and lives of their own.
