This important book analyzes the dubious role of the so-called Democratic Antifascist Youth Movement ‘Nashi’ in contemporary Russia. Part and parcel of the Putinist project of political stabilization, Nashi dominates state-sponsored youth politics in Russia, communicating demands from official discourse to a young audience. Idealizing the past, present, and future of Putin’s Russia, Nashi mobilized young Russians through its emotional appeal, skillful use of symbolic politics and the promise for professional self-realization. However, the movement’s impact remains limited – mostly due to its internal contradictions.
Based on original and meticulous research, Ivo Mijnssen skillfully picks apart the dynamics underlying Nashi’s influence and furthers a deeper understanding of state-sponsored youth politics in early 21st century Russia.
