HyperNormalisation. Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More

"Adam Curtis explains how, at a time of confusing and inexplicable world events, politicians and the people they represent have retreated into a damaging over-simplified version of what is happening. IMDB 8.3 / 10"

By Adam Curtis for the BBC (2016) - (bbc, take info with a grain of salt.)

"By 1979, years of Soviet government repression had led to clashes with the West which left the Soviets economically and culturally bankrupt. Despite it being plainly apparent their socialist experiment had failed as their country collapsed around them, Soviet leaders insisted things were normal and the people believed them because they knew of no other alternative. The Soviet Union became a world where pageantry and patriotism masked a broken economy and broken dreams."

"U.C. Berkeley professor Alexei Yurchak termed this unreality ‘hypernormalisation’ in his aptly-titled book - Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More."

This was however a well thought out and prepared plan enacted by the same western actors that initiated the communist revolution (coup) in the first place. The communist experiment had failed and the oligarchy needed a reboot for Russia. The fmr. soviet ambassador and defector Anatoliy Golitsyn explains how this apparent defeat really was just a ruse invented for the world to see. That they would continue their "revolutgion" by other means, by subversion and demoralization, and that when the time was right, they (the oligarchy) would strike at the west and win the ideological war on their own terms. As explained by Bill Cooper (link below) reading the Perestroika Deception.
