Description for The Quest for an Ideal Youth in Putin's Russia II. The Search for Distinctive Conformism in the Political Communication of Nashi, 2005-2009.
Paperback. This book analyzes the dubious role of the Democratic Antifascist Youth Movement "Nashi" in contemporary Russia. Part of the Putinist project of political stabilization, Nashi mobilizes young Russians through its emotional appeal, skillful use of symbolic politics, and promise of professional self-realization. Series Editor(s): Umland, Andreas. Num Pages: 236 pages. BIC Classification: 1DVU; 1DVUA; JPS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 210 x 149 x 13. Weight in Grams: 302.

Using discourse analysis, this book identifies socio-political factors that created obstacles to Nashi's communication strategies. ... Read more

"The findings presented here suggest that further studies of Nashis rank and file members or regional organizations would provide even greater insights into the evolution of Putinism and youth policy."
