Propaganda is a vital part of Russia's war machine. This book coolly and authoritatively deconstructs how Russian propaganda has helped create a paranoid population, fearful that it is surrounded by enemies, and ready to acquiesce to and support Russia's wars of aggression. If we are to prevent future catastrophes--this is the sort of analysis that provides the understanding.--Peter Pomerantsev, Senior Fellow, Johns Hopkins University
