Abstract

This paper brings together the late Freud's concept of the death drive and Dostoevsky's vision of primordial suffering in order to analyze anti-Ukrainian and pro-Ukrainian trends in today's Russia. The paper encourages embracing the suffering that the death drive entails, instead of escaping it through the narrative of Russia's 'greatness'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
