/ world at present information/ “Evil Russians” are always current in video video games. Let’s take a look at the instance of the Name of Obligation collection, why this occurs. It’s removed from simply propaganda.
Is that this the world of video video games? In the beginning of August, Activision Blizzard started to aggressively promote the brand new a part of Name of Obligation, which has the subtitle Trendy Warfare III. It’s a reboot of one other Trendy Warfare /MW/ trilogy that makes use of the identical characters however places them in new conditions and occasions.
“He who’s afraid of wolves – shouldn’t go to the forest”.
Within the case of MW, one factor stays unchanged: the “evil Russians” are guilty for every thing. Trendy Warfare 2019 featured the struggle for Urzikstan (renamed Syria), the place the native Kurds fought in opposition to the Russian invaders. Effectively, the valiant People helped their allies stage a drone strike in opposition to the native model of Hmeimim Air Base.
In MWII, the primary focus was shifted to the struggle on drug cartels in Mexico, however the PMC “Kony” nonetheless appeared within the sport. Sure, that is an analogue of “Wagner”. No, we do not know why the builders named the group after Vladimir Putin’s canine.
Effectively, within the contemporary MWIII, the courageous British-American particular forces will struggle the primary risk of all the franchise – the Russian ultranationalist Vladimir Makarov. The villain turned out to be numerous enjoyable, particularly because of the tattoo on his abdomen: “He who’s afraid of wolves – shouldn’t go to the forest”.
The corporate determined to repeat the notorious “Not a Phrase in Russian” mission from the unique Trendy Warfare 2, the place Makarov’s terrorists fired on the group on the Moscow airport. This time there can even be an airplane. Effectively, the place are we with out chemical weapons!
Why are the villains at all times Russians?
Why, then, in Western video games, fairly often Russians seem as the primary villains. There are the standard solutions: propaganda, legacy of the Chilly Conflict, and many others. Tougher, but in addition more true: Russians are too handy targets.
Observe reveals that the selection of one other nation as an opponent is accompanied by too severe scandals or losses. Have you ever chosen Afghan fighters? America’s veterans are outraged. Selected Center Jap warbands? Arabs forbid gross sales.
The funniest factor is with China as a result of they REALLY do not wish to struggle with it, which is commonly absurd. Due to this fact, it’s tough to search out video games the place the Chinese language are the primary risk. Simply bear in mind Battlefield 4. And sure, this shooter was banned in China as a “risk to nationwide safety” (the plot revolved round a army rise up).
So it seems that it’s with the “evil Russians” (and generally with the DPRK) that the courageous People must struggle. As a result of the Russian market is taken into account small, and the response to the looks of such video games by officers and politicians is often sluggish. And let’s not be stunned that within the coming years there’ll solely be extra such merchandise – Western propaganda remains to be awake.
