Kultureller Hintergrund
The phrase is deeply linked to 'Gigantomania'—a Soviet-era tendency to build the world's largest dams, factories, and monuments to prove the superiority of the system. In modern Russia, oligarchs and tech moguls use this phrase to signal that their companies are 'Global Players' and not just local businesses. State media frequently uses this phrase during times of crisis to emphasize that the government is facing 'unprecedented' challenges, which helps justify 'unprecedented' measures. Russian historians use this phrase to distinguish the 20th century from all previous eras, emphasizing that the scale of suffering and change was fundamentally different.
