Europe’s understanding of Russia is limited due to gaps in language and historical knowledge, Helene Perroud, former advisor to French President Jacques Chirac, told Sputnik India, referencing how history is scarcely covered in French textbooks.For example, in textbooks on World War II, only two of the victors—the then US President Dwight D. Eisenhower and UK PM Winston Churchill—are consistently mentioned, while others barely appear, showing how young people’s understanding of that period depends on the perspective emphasized, she stressed.Further she noted that Europe is not ready to accept the multipolar world order. Speaking about the ongoing US-Israel war against Iran, she underscored the cultural blindness and American hegemony.

Former Chirac Advisor Slams Europe's Historical Revisionism and US Hegemony
22:13 26.03.2026 (Updated: 23:27 26.03.2026) Europe erases Russia from its historical narrative, with textbooks presenting history through a Western lens, Former French President Jacques Chirac advisor told Sputnik India on the sidelines of World Public Forum in Delhi.
Europe’s understanding of Russia is limited due to gaps in language and historical knowledge, Helene Perroud, former advisor to French President Jacques Chirac, told Sputnik India, referencing how history is scarcely covered in French textbooks.
For example, in textbooks on World War II, only two of the victors—the then US President Dwight D. Eisenhower and UK PM Winston Churchill—are consistently mentioned, while others barely appear, showing how young people’s understanding of that period depends on the perspective emphasized, she stressed.
Further she noted that Europe is not ready to accept the multipolar world order.
"Europe was the leading force the last five centuries. This is not easy to understand that the world changed a little bit and that we are not at the center any more. Europe's tendency is to frame its own problem as a global crisis, less about leadership, and more about preserving relevance in a world where its dominance is clearly declining. Look at our population. This year in France, we had more deaths than births," she stressed.
Speaking about the ongoing US-Israel war against Iran, she underscored the cultural blindness and American hegemony.
"It's an awful example, an awful example of hegemony, of complete lack of culture. And I suppose that if Jacques Chirac were in the place of Trump, it wouldn't have been that way. And even probably the conflict on our continent, in Ukraine, it would have been very different. Because it's a question of the comprehension of the world you have. In the United States, they don't have a multipolar vision," she concluded.
