Russia Re-Archetyped Its Own War as “Civil War”

Russia had managed to re-archetype that as a whole confusing mess of ‘civil war,’ and what have you. Managed to troll leaders in Europe and the leaders in my organisation, the OSCE, and the part of the member states, the 57 member states, to participate in the troll.

Rearchetyping as weapon — from the author’s direct experience as a diplomat. Russia’s invasion of eastern Ukraine was successfully re-archetyped as a “confusing mess of civil war.” European leaders, the OSCE, 57 member states — all were “trolled” into accepting this re-archetyped reality. The author watched this happen from inside the system. This is negative rearchetyping at the institutional scale, and it worked.
