Putin again compared himself to Peter I/Channel 24 Collage
Vladimir Putin is haunted by the place of Peter I in Russian history. The head of the Kremlin again mentioned this ruler in his speech, seemingly “unobtrusively” asking for analogies.
Putin issued another speech with historical excursions on the Day of Russia. The text was filled with manipulative and deceitful theses, already traditional for the head of the aggressor state.
Putin presented awards and talked about “pride for Russia”
On June 12, Putin handed out state awards and medals, and also told Russians how proud they should be of Russia's history. Like, it was “unity and devotion” that their ancestors bequeathed to the citizens of the occupying country.
The entire speech of the head of the Kremlin was stuck together by the words “patriotism”, “traditions”, “age values”. There were also mentions of “military victories”: for this, Putin even returned 300 years ago to remember his idol, Peter I.
Peter is rightly called a great reformer, he managed to achieve fundamental changes in almost all spheres of life, primarily in government, in economic development, in creating a powerful, invincible army and navy, – the late emperor praised Putin for almost 300 years.

Not without quotes from Pushkin and the glorification of Peter I as “a worker on the eternal throne”.
Putin repeated about the “military victories of the ancestors”
Lest Russians sometimes doubt the expediency of waging a war in Ukraine, Putin constantly noted how proud Russia was of its “military victories.” Like, in this way “it was possible to defend their homeland and acquire a worthy role for it in the world.”
This is not the first time Putin compares himself with Peter I
Note that this is not the first time Putin calls himself a follower of Peter I. Thus, he illustrates his painful views on the arrangement of the world. This amazing argument is used by the head of the Kremlin to justify the war of conquest. Moreover, the President of Russia is trying to prove the meaningless: that he is returning “his territories”.
How the Office of the President reacted to such manifestations of megalomania:
- In the Office of the President of Ukraine Putin's strange statements were reacted quite harshly.
- Advisor to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak noted that such manic statements by the head of the Kremlin prove what the whole world already knows.
- No conflict between Russia and Ukraine no, there is an exclusively bloody seizure of our lands by Moscow.
- That is why we need to talk about the de-imperialization of Russia, and not “saving its face”.
