Abstract
Since Putin's third term as president, official discourse of Russian nationhood has become increasingly statist, ethnonationalist, traditionalist and anti-Western in tone and substance. This chapter analyzes the three films, Long and Happy Life, Leviathan, and The Fool, which challenge the Russian status quo particularly through attacking post-Soviet Russian society and the state to suggest that there is, however, a strong tendency across Russian cultural and political spheres to imagine a Russianness against the ‘West'. Since Vladimir Putin's first presidency in 2000, Russia continues to frame itself with respect to its complex relationship with the ‘West', rejecting Western-style democracy for neo-authoritarian government.
