Vladimir Putin declared in 2019 that liberalism had become obsolete, criticizing its implications on migration and diversity, which he claimed opposed the majority's interests.

This marked a strategic effort by Putin to exploit societal divisions within the West, positioning Russia as a model for traditional values and reshaping the post-Cold War political discourse.
