As hostile states of the global West “cancel” Russian culture, Vladimir Putin compares himself to the author of Harry Potter.
In his speeches, the Russian autocrat, Vladimir Putin, draws attention above all with extremely dubious arguments, many of which raise suspicions. He justified the invasion of Ukraine with a special military operation aimed at protecting separatist areas.

Reason: Ukraine would commit genocide against the population. He was later forced to invade the rest of the country, bombing homes and power plants. Everything against the background of “denazification” Ukraine. Exactly in Ukraine, headed by the Jewish president.
“Russophobia”
On Friday, one of his high-profile TV speeches took place again. Putin said the West is trying to destroy the thousand-year-old Russian Empire – and says there is widespread Russophobia in the West.
“Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff will be removed from the concert programs. Russian writers and their books will be banned. The last time the campaign to ban unwanted literature was with the Nazis 90 years ago, the president told the media on Friday.
JK Rowling versus Putin
To give a more recent example, Vladimir Putin cited Harry Potter author JK Rowling. She, too, became a “victim” of the “cancellation culture” after she attracted criticism with hostile trance statements. Russia, on the other hand, is a “port of tolerance” (where, for example, same-sex couples have been systematically and brutally persecuted for years).
JK Rowling finally replied via Twitter. “Criticism of Western culture cancels does not necessarily come from those who are in the process of murdering civilian resistance or imprisoning and poisoning their own critics.”
