Hitler's Remains in Russia

For decades there have been debates about Adolf Hitler's death. Even eighty years after the end of World War II, there are those who doubt: did the Führer really commit suicide in the Berlin bunker? Could he have fled to South America, as many of his aides did? These doubts were largely fueled by the fact that the Soviet Union remained silent for many years about what exactly was found in May 1945 and where the remains of the most terrifying dictator of the 20th century ended up.

This article examines the phenomenon of the "Russian gaze," which became an unexpected global trend in early 2026. Based on analysis of media publications, social media content, and expert commentary, the nature of this phenomenon, its cultural roots, and mechanisms of dissemination are reconstructed. Particular attention is devoted to the paradoxical situation: at a time when Western countries are attempting to "cancel" Russian culture, global interest in it not only does not fade but acquires new, viral forms. Accompanying trends are also analyzed: the fashion for "Slavic chic" in clothing, the popularity of Russian music abroad, and foreigners' attempts to master the elusive specificity of the Russian facial expression.
