All eyes on Russia

THE WEEK India|April 06, 2025
A popular legend in Slavic folklore is the myth of Baba Yaga.
- NAMRATA ZAKARIA
All eyes on Russia

She is a witch who lives in a forest, in a peripatetic house that stands on chicken legs. There are contradictory stories around her; some tales show her as a child-eating monster, but in others she is wise and kind. Russia enjoys the same reputation in geopolitics. Despite its superpower status for centuries—its strides in nuclear programmes, space, economics and of course literature (five literature Nobels)—its bent towards war-mongering has the west worried.

Each time I visit Russia, I fall in love with it a little more. Russians are warm and helpful; they are also a very happy country, proud of their excellent standard of living (a little money goes a long way here) and their clean streets.
