There's a thin red line that tie both Putin's oligarchs and Trump's oligarchs: "wokeness" is a concept fabricated by the latter but is completely compliant with Russian's 2006 federal law. They can't formalized that freedom of people doesn't matter, they need to make-up a blurry concept of "tradition" and a vague concept of something that may corrupt the aforementioned joke ("traditional values": the one between the traditional human ape rape cave and matrimonial rites after human ape pack raided another pack and took their females)
I mean on the literal level, "'wokeness'" was used quotatively by Masters, as though somebody else had actually said that exact word. This is what strikes me as bizarre.
But also, the 'woke' thing is a new layer to the culture war that emerged in the late '10s. It was precipitated by similar disagreements over issues of social justice and affirmative action, of course, but not to the same extent or precision. However, Russia is acting consistently with how they acted a decade ago. So this is my weak argument that 'wokeness' is indeed not relevant here even in concept.
