An “Absurd” Notion. The notion that there should exist a country anywhere in the present world that would have itself played an important or even decisive role in the hatred other countries manifest toward it, could, at least at first sight, be considered absurd. Such notion could be dismissed out of hand as the only thing that makes sense to do with it. However, it could be argued, and the case will herein be made, that it is always possible that, despite itself, and so unwittingly, a country could under some historical circumstances create the functional, political space, and facilitate the tools and the themes which those who will, would use for fostering, displaying, and more significantly, acting out their hatred on such country. Herein I will contend that such notion is fitting to the Russian Federation under Vladimir Putin.
