Soviet throwback? Russia rekindles home-grown events after isolation from the West
Update: 2025-10-31
Description
In response to global isolation due to the Ukraine invasion, Russia has been creating its own sporting and cultural events to fill the void. From the World Friendship Games to the Intervision Song Contest, these events aim to stir national pride but are seen by critics as more about propaganda than true competition. Despite mixed reception, Russia remains hopeful of rejoining the global community, with these events serving as a means to manage national morale in the interim.
