Overview

"Government-organized yet scandal-stricken, Nashi inspires everything from broad support to a reluctance to accept all implications of Putin's political system. This volume shows how Nashi conceptualizes an ""ideal youth"" within the framework of an official national identity politics and as an attempt to mobilize apolitical youth."

Reviews

At a time when Russia's political leadership is confronting an increasingly mobilized society, this book helps us understand the communication strategies used by pro-Kremlin groups in their efforts to garner the support of youth for the Putin-centered regime. Capturing Nashi's own 'voices,' this intriguing and detailed analysis of Nashi's self-image and web-based outreach strategies sheds light on the mechanisms of political-patriotic mobilization in semi-authoritarian regimes, as well as on their unintended consequences. -- Valerie Sperling, Professor of Political Science, Clark University
