It's not Putin's war raging in Ukraine - it's Russia's war. Jade McGlynn's books paint a disturbing picture of support for the invasion and occupation of Ukraine by ordinary Russians.
In Russia, despite terrible losses on the front, there is little resistance to the war in Ukraine. There are several reasons for this, some of which lie in the country's history. McGlynn does not rule out the possibility that there are Russians who disapprove of the war. But she argues that tolerating propaganda in their own minds is easier than speaking out.
