Vladimir Putin's comments during a speech on the 80th anniversary of Russia's victory over Germany at Stalingrad, now known as Volgograd, are believed to be another thinly veiled threat to use tactical nuclear weapons as the war in Ukraine approaches the one-year mark.

And that is a recurring theme now among Russian propagandists, who claim that from Napoleon Bonaparte to Hitler to NATO today, the West has been on a centuries long campaign to destroy Russia.

But as commentators have observed, they do all share a pride in their wartime defeat of Nazi Germany.
