Propagandists continue to resort to conspiracy theories to justify Russia's aggression against Ukraine. In the midst of the theories, they spread a conspiracy scenario in which Russia is credited with a special historical role in restoring a “just” order.

In particular, in their opinion, a return to the “golden era” of Russia is possible only through a dictatorship, which will supposedly allow for large-scale reforms, cleanse society of the “fifth column” and ensure a fair distribution of resources. To do this, they use phrases like “Moscow is the third Rome” and compare current leaders with dictators of the past, such as Stalin, who supposedly proved the effectiveness of dictatorship in difficult times. They also note the need to create a new currency, namely “energy money”. Therefore, the conspiracy theorists establish that the establishment of a new economic system means that everyone will allegedly receive only what they earned, according to the energy expended, and no banks will exist. At the last BRICS forum, Russia already proposed introducing a common currency for the bloc members, which could be a step towards implementing this idea. All this is proof that Russia is the center of a new era: thanks to the “brilliant strategy” of its leader, Russia will challenge the West, renew the empire and lead the new world order.

Promoting the idea of a revived empire and Russia’s “world mission”, it justifies the annexation of Crimea, aggression in Donbas, and full-scale invasion as a “necessary process of historical restoration”. The theory positions Ukraine as an obstacle to a new era, portraying it as a puppet of the West and a source of chaos. By appealing to imperial pride, the idea of “gathering lands” under a dictatorship motivates Russians to support the war and the political regime. The creation of an image of an “external enemy” (the West) and “internal traitors” (the opposition) provides grounds for political persecution in Russia itself. This ideology serves both domestic propaganda and external attempts to discredit Ukraine before the international community.
