Adam Curtis Wipe 2014 on Vladislav Surkov
"That DEFEATIST RESPONSE has become part of a new System of Political CONTROL --
and to understand
HOW this is happening :
You Have to Look
to Russia.
This is Vladislav Serkov -- who is a Hero of Our Time.
Serkov is one of President Putin's advisors, and has helped him maintain his Power
for 15 YEARS -- but he has done it in a very new way.
He came originally from the
avant-garde art world -- and those who have studied his career say that what Serkov has DONE is to import ideas from the world of Conceptual Art
into the very heart of politics.
His aim is to undermine
People's PERCEPTION
of The World,
so they never know
What is REALLY Happening.
Serkov turned Russian Politics into a behwhildering, constantly changing piece of Theatre -- he sponsored all kinds of organisations, from Neo-Nazi Skinheads, to Liberal Human Rights Groups..... He even backed parties that were OPPOSED to
President Putin.
But The Key Thing IS that
Serkov then let it be KNOWN
that this is what he
was doing --
which meant that no-one was SURE
what was ‘Real’, and
what was ‘Fake’.
….or, of Course —
Vice-Versa
