This captivating book delves into the intricate tapestry of violence in Russian culture, unveiling how it has seamlessly become an integral part of the nation's masculine identity. It explores the profound differences in popular attitudes towards violence compared to Western societies, where violence is often viewed with disdain. In Russia, however, a pervasive approval of violence and a reverence for macho, militaristic political leadership have prevailed. The book takes a deep dive into the realm of violence and masculinity, examining its manifestations in film, literary fiction, and popular television series. It raises thought-provoking questions about the consequences of this culture of violence for cultural symbolism, political decision-making, nation-building, and international relations. Through its insightful analysis, the book reveals how President Putin's enduring popularity is intricately linked to his portrayal as a rugged and formidable leader, a persona that resonates with the Russian populace's desire for strength and stability. At the same time, it sheds light on the existence of a subversive media that challenges these dominant attitudes, portraying real men as weak and hollow, mirroring the underlying ideology that underpins them. This thought-provoking exploration of violence in Russian culture offers a profound understanding of the complex interplay between culture, politics, and societal norms, shedding light on the challenges and complexities of navigating this complex landscape.
