Peace in Our Time




"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.

And to a man called 
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 bewildering, 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.


As one journalist put it : 
"It's a Strategy of Power 
that keeps ANY opposition 
CONSTANTLY CONFUSED -- 
a ceaseless shape-shifting,
that is UNSTOPPABLE 
because it is INDEFINABLE."
