Summary:
I have been noticing that Russians view this a religious war, with "God-less liberalism" pitted against Orthodox Russia. They see this as the liberal world mounting an analogue to a crusade to impose its "post-human" ideology with religious fervor. And they see the liberal West as a decadent civilization, not only a declining one, effete and animalistic. Russians are hardly along in this, and this view is shared by many conservative Americans, too, as I glean from my reading.What is in progress is a clash between people and nations who support normal [traditonal] human values and the part of the Western elite which preaches [liberal] post-human values.This is a critical moment in the historical dialectic or the clash between traditionalism and liberalism, not that either are monolithic
