Totem is ‘a spirit being, sacred object, or symbol that serves as an emblem of a group of people, such as a family, clan, lineage, or tribe’. Or country. Muscovy-Russia has used the Bear image as its totem animal, but that animal is not the proper symbol for it. Jackal Tabaqui is. Here are just several reasons why. Moscow’s modus operandi has always been way too cunning for a bear. But it fits jackal’s behavior perfectly. That is how Moscow started all its wars in the past century: the attack on Poland from the back at the time Poland was defending itself from the German invasion in 1939 is the most obvious example of the treacherous characteristic. Treacherous is the correct word because at the time of the invasion, Moscow and Warsaw had had the Treaty of Riga in effect which was the Peace Treaty between the two. Moscow violated it, just like it violated the Peace Treaty with Ukraine in 2014.
Also, Moscow does not like to be straightforward regarding its actions. In the case of Poland in 1939, Moscow invented some ‘defending minorities‘ narrative to cover up its perfidious attack. In attacking Finland in 1940, Moscow was ‘defending itself’ after the Shelling of Manila false flag operation. Moscow invented the ‘special military operation’ misleading terminology as a coverup of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The three cases above, Poland, Finland, and Ukraine, demonstrate that Muscovy prefers attacking countries that are much smaller than itself. One can add Georgia and Moldova whom Moscow attacked in between.
Jackal Tabaqui can be a nice totem of Russia because of its servility to the Asian powers portrayed in the story by Shere Khan. Read how
Moscow was made a capital city by a Mongolian khan of the Golden Horde in 1327 >
Muscovy-Russia is an ugly replica of the Golden Horde. One can easily recognize the same genetics of the Horde in Moscow’s political structure where one ruler-khan decides everything.
‘Gardariki, Ukraine’ e-book provides more insights into why Muscovy has nothing to do with Kyiv Rus. Apart from being the most backward province of it until the time of the Mongol invasion.
