Reviews for The Quest for an Ideal Youth in Putin's Russia I. Back to Our Future! History, Modernity, and Patriotism According to Nashi, 2005-2013.
Mijnssen clarifies the role that historical consciousness plays in the construction of security politics against domestic and external enemies as well as the translation of these constructions into concrete actions with precise conceptual thinking and clear language. This is an excellent study!
