A move of a huge extent: The Brics summit in the Southwest Russian Kazan becomes a dazzling scene for Vladimir Putin's pushing propaganda. Here the Russian President stages his vision of a Russia, which, despite the overwhelming sanctions in the wake of the Ukraine War, is not isolated-quite the contrary, it speaks loud and clearly: "Look here, we are strong!"

The message of the Kremlin could not be more decisive: in the middle of Pomp and Pathos, Russia presents itself as a radiant star in the international political sky, surrounded by the Brics states of Brazil, India, China, South Africa-and now also the new members of Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. It is proud that over 30 countries want to join the BRICS club. A truly exhilarating success for the Kremlin!

Alliance of the anti-Westler

Putin celebrates a resuscitation of old anti -western paradigms as he propagates the image of the multipolar world. "The influence of the West is disappearing!", He screams, so to speak, into the world in order to fuel the prejudices of many countries in the global south. But reality is more complex: Despite the conviction of Russia as an aggressor by over 140 countries in 2022, the outrage has decreased significantly. For some countries, the Ukraine War has already become a distant conflict-they long for negotiations, even if this could mean painful area losses for Ukraine.

The desperate act of the West to pull these countries onto its side is increasingly developing into the knee to shot. While Putin is talking under more than 20 heads of state and government in Kazan, a creeping but threatening cooperation with China is developing. XI Jinping is not only an ally, but also an important player in Putin's strategy for covering with dual-use goods-those that can be used both civil and military. A dangerous game: the more the West is busy with the Ukraine conflict, the more freedom has Beijing in conflict with Taiwan.

Putin in focus: the junction Brics

Putin's eyes shine when he dreams of the brutal reality of an anti -Western alliance; He knows that he urgently needs the backing of the aspiring supermache China for his goals. And the impending end of Ukraine is only the beginning, as BND boss Bruno Kahl recently warned: Russia is upgrading. "There may be an attack against NATO," said Kahl.

But how deep is this Brics unit actually? The differences between China and India are blatantly, and strong economic dynamics are not on the agenda. If there is no in a common internal market or a financing platform such as the Swift system, it becomes clear that Putin can only hope that the countries will not mobilize against it. The appearance in Kazan is therefore more than just a political show - it is the calculated risk to operate an anti -Western narrative that is supposed to help the Kremlin to be new.
