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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibidem Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969592836247,"sku":"9783838203683","price":3353.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783838203683.webp?v=1782922669","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-quest-for-an-ideal-youth-in-putins-russia-i-9783838203683","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
