    I assume this is a reference to The Last Ringbearer?

    For those who don’t know, The Last Ringbearer is an alternative (and anti-Western) account of Lord Of The Rings, written by a Russian author. And either as a cause or a consequence, a lot of Russians think of Sauron as a hero and Mordor as a down-trodden land that was ruined by the forces of the West. It really sums up the resentment and self-loathing sentiments many Russians have.
