Here, Russia is no longer just a tyranny, but a viral pathology: « Cholera. » Michelet diagnoses an Empire founded on the ontological « Lie, » an anti-reality where Tsar Nicholas I is the « False of the False » and where the bureaucracy grinds down all organic life. The Russian regime’s capacity to export its own decomposition to dissolve the West’s moral defenses is terrifying.

A « cold poison » that lulls to sleep before killing. Facing this machine of death that has « suppressed » its own nation, martyred Ukraine appears paradoxically as the only living force, a miracle of resistance preventing the gangrene from overwhelming Europe.

It is a clinical warning: one does not negotiate with an epidemic, one contains it or dies from it.
