Putin’s Necrophilic Nursery Rhyme

Duncey Putin archetyped Ukraine as a woman who needed to submit to her man (Russia). The “vulgar Russian rhyme” Putin was referencing has obvious Disinfolklore connotations — Sleeping Beauty is one of the primary archetypal characters in Indo-European culture and folklore. The song comes from a Soviet-era Russian band called “Red Mold.” The exact song lyric is: “Sleeping Beauty in a coffin, I crept up and f***ed her. Like it, or dislike it, sleep my beauty.”

Putin quoting a necrophilic rape song as a threat to a sovereign state is paradox concentrated: the “liberator” threatens rape, the “protector” quotes a song about violating a corpse, the “peacemaker” uses the language of sexual violence. This paradox cannot be resolved — it can only be detected and named. The passage connects directly to the Axis of Misogyny and Coercive Control.
