Authoritarian leaders of various countries like to nostalgic for the old days. Then they recall the former borders of the state and hint at the return of the former territories “to their native harbor”. They refuse to accept the independence of their former vassals or colonies. They are erecting a cult of former leaders, distorting their ideas for propaganda purposes.

Italy of the 20th century also faced this during the reign of Benito Mussolini.

He came with the civil war and left with it after more than 20 years of rule, during which, against the backdrop of calls for the revival of the Roman Empire, Italy occupied Ethiopia, supported Hitler and sang fascism in frescoes, comics and films.
