In the early hours of 24th 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
monstruous, 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.
