The Complexities of Russia's Present and Future.

Jade McGlynn's new book "Russia's War" explores the factors that have led to the Russian people's support of the war in Ukraine, including propaganda, manipulation of memory and history, and a sense of insecurity. McGlynn argues that the war is ultimately about Russia's belief in its right to be a great power and to avenge the humiliation of the 1990s. The book also examines the West's role in facilitating the war and the competition among pro-Kremlin media for state approval.
