ism in Russia. In this journey through the postmodern subjectivity of toda
y’s Russian youth\, we’ll discover how the youth politics of Putin’s state

ts next generation? How are they appealing to young Russians using social
media? And will young Russians fall in love with the state’s militaristic
politics?
The College Bookstore will have a pop-up table selling
copies of Dr. Garner’s book after the talk.
This event is co-
sponsored by the Douglas Shaheen Russian Studies Fund in Languages\, Liter
atures\, and Linguistics.
