clearheaded, unbiased, multidisciplinary analysis of the relationship between Ukraine’s revolutionary democratic strivings and Putin’s Russian imperial response.” —Alexander Motyl, Rutgers University–Newark

This volume highlights the role of the Revolution of Dignity and the Russian Ukrainian war in the formation of Ukrainian civil society; the forms of warfare waged by Moscow against Kiev, including information and religious wars; Ukrainian and Russian identities and cultural realignment; sources of destabilization in Ukraine; memory politics and Russian foreign policies; the Kremlin’s geopolitical goals in its “near abroad”; and factors determining Ukraine’s survival in a state of war. Contributions illuminate the gap between the political and social systems of Ukraine and Russia. OLGA BERTELSEN

“A must-read book for all those following ideological evolutions of Russia.” —Marlene Laruelle, George Washington University

This book outlines the complexities, contestation, and contradictions in the formal organization and contents of patriotic education in post-Soviet Russia. It is based on the budgets of federal and regional patriotic-education programs and on field research. The text explores all major agents of patriotic education, such as the government, schools, youth associations, churches, and the film/cartoon industry. It traces the development of governmental patriotic programs in recent decades, discusses how the Soviet past and political traditions influence today’s system of patriotic education, and presents numerous case studies illustrating real-life processes in patriotic education.
