'A chilling investigation into the widespread support for the violence and ideology of fascism among Russias youth and how Putin has used this to his advantage.' * Financial Times * 'An incandescent indictment of [ Putin's] regime... Garner writes with dash and panache, and pulls no punches as he rips through the evolution of the Putin regime.' -- The Sunday Times 'A brilliantly detailed portrait of the ideological and cultural atmosphere engineered by the Russian state, media and Church... a chilling and essential book.' -- Times Literary Supplement 'A chilling and eye-opening primer on how the Kremlin is cultivating a new generation of foot soldiers who will ensure that its ugly ideology survives even if the current regime falls.' -- The Moscow Times [ A] chilling exposé. -- Airmail 'Astutely examines Russian youth's growing embrace of fascism.' -- Prospect 'Dissects the state's efforts to reshape the minds of Russia's young people.' -- New Lines Magazine '[ 'Z Generation'] is invaluable to understanding how the conflict may well progress.' -- Diplomatic Courier, '15 Books to Look Forward to in 2023' A readable and disturbing account of the militarisation of Russias youth. -- The House Magazine 'Ian Garner has produced a brilliant and chilling investigation. He meticulously details how extraordinary levels of hate permeate a large section of the under-30s, who came of age under Putin's tutelage. No one can finish this book and still believe the invasion of Ukraine was just the fault of one bad guy in the Kremlin. As Garner so expertly shows, whatever happens in the war, we will be dealing with the consequences of Russian fascism for years to come.' -- Nick Cohen, Observer columnist and author A deeply disturbing, anecdotal exploration of the rise of fascism in Russia. -- Diplomatic Courier 'Z Generation provides an excellent survey of the hateful content and deluded worldview of an increasingly mainstream fascism in Russia.' -- CHOICE 'A powerful and bleak account of Russias youth.' -- The Russian Review 'A forensic and grippingly-told examination of the descent of Russian youth into state-encouraged violent fascism. Garner makes the reader understand both the scale of the problem, and that it is one we will be facing for decades to come.' -- David Patrikarakos, author of War in 140 Characters: How Social Media Is Reshaping Conflict in the Twenty-First Century 'An unflinching and essential portrayal of the Putler Jugend with all its paradoxes and sadism.' -- Peter Pomerantsev, author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible: Adventures in Modern Russia 'If you thought Putin's Russia was an ideology-free kleptocracy and most Russians are ashamed of or opposed to the invasion of Ukraine, read Ian Garner's gripping historical-cultural analysis of the descent of a portion of Russia's youth into fascist euphoria in support of their country's illegal invasion of Ukraine.' -- Maria Popova, Associate Professor of Political Science and Jean Monnet Chair, McGill University 'What do young Russians think about their country, Putin and the world? Why do many tech-savvy, successful and well-educated young Russians support their country's invasion of Ukraine? Combining personal observations and academic research, this provocative book addresses questions crucial for understanding Russia's past, present and future.' -- Eugene Finkel, Kenneth H. Keller Associate Professor of International Affairs, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and editor of Coloured Revolutions and Authoritarian Reactions 'Ian Garner's exceptional book deals with its subject matter--the growth of Russian fascism--in a way that is multifaceted and nuanced, but also clear-sighted about the threat it poses to Russia's neighbours, the liberal international order and Russia itself.' -- Mart Kuldkepp, Associate Professor of Scandinavian History and Politics, University College London
