The Russian media close to power seem to have all suddenly remembered the existence of Greta Thunberg, the famous Swedish environmental activist, for whom they nevertheless had little esteem a few days ago. Why ?

Suddenly, this interest becomes more logical: since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, NATO has become the great – and main – enemy of Russia, according to Kremlin propaganda. And the recent application for membership by two traditionally neutral countries, Sweden and Finland, which moreover share a long land border with Russia, has only fueled the conviction that the Alliance is constantly drawing closer to the country, a sentiment that largely caused the war with Ukraine – at least according to the official rhetoric.
