This curious popular reaction, in spite of early signs revealing the role of #Russia's secret service in the mass murderous terror attacks on #Russian civilians, points to worrisome psychological deformations of the Russian national mind. /2
The mixture of collective escapism, myopic personalism & necro-masochism that came to the fore already more than 30 years ago should have consequences for Western policies. It indicates that verbal signaling may be of only limited use in communication with the Russian nation. /3
