RUSSIAS WAR - JADE MCGLYNN KARTONIERT (TB)

In the early hours of 24 February 2022  Russian forces attacked Ukraine. The brutality of the
Russian assault has horrified the world. But Russians themselves appear to be watching an
entirely different war - one in which they are the courageous underdogs and kind-hearted heroes
successfully battling a malign Ukrainian foe. Russia analyst Jade McGlynn takes us on a journey
into this parallel military and political universe to reveal the sometimes monstrous  sometimes
misconstrued attitudes behind Russian majority backing for the invasion. Drawing on media
analysis and interviews with ordinary citizens  officials and foreign-policy elites in Russia
and Ukraine  McGlynn explores the grievances  lies and half-truths that pervade the Russian
worldview. She also exposes the complicity of many Russians  who have invested too deeply in
the Kremlin's alternative narratives to regard the war as Putin's foolhardy mission. In their
eyes  this is Russia's war - against Ukraine  against the West  against evil - and there can be
no turning back.
