The author argues that Russia's second president has been successful in promoting his image as an embodiment of the shared national identity of the Russian citizens. He has articulated the shared collective perspective and has built a social consensus by tapping into powerful group emotions of shame and humiliation derived from the painful experience of the transition in the 1990s. He was able to overturn these emotions into pride and patriotism by activating two central pillars of the Soviet collective identity: a sense of exceptionalism that the Soviet regime promoted to consolidate the Soviet nation, and a sense of a foreign threat to the state and its people that also was foundational for the Soviet Union. Putin's assertive foreign policy decisions, culminating in the annexation of Crimea, appeared to have secured, in the eyes of the Russian citizens, their insecure national identity. The top-down leadership and bottom-up collective identity-driven processes coalesced to produce a newly revanchist Russia, with its current leader perceived by many citizens to be irreplaceable. Politics of national identity in Russia are promoted through a well-coordinated media machine that works to focus citizens' attention on Putin's foreign policy and on Russia's international standing. Public fears are played out against the backdrop of Soviet legacies of national exceptionalism and the politics of victimhood associated with the 1990s to conjure a sense of collective dignity, self-righteousness, and national strength to keep the present political system intact"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The return of the 'Soviet' or the 'national' in Putin's Russia? -- The white knight and the red queen : blinded by love -- Shared mental models of the late soviet period -- The new Russian identity and the burden of the Soviet past -- Constructing the collective trauma of the 1990's -- MMM for VVP : building the modern media machine -- Le cirque politique a la Russe : political talk shows and public opinion leaders in Russia -- Searching for a new mirror : on human and collective dignity in Russia. 600 10 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- 600 10 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- $x Public opinion. 600 17 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00444788 648 7 $a Since 1991 $2 fast 650 0 $a Political leadership $z Russia (Federation) 650 0 $a Nationalism $z Russia (Federation) 650 0 $a National characteristics, Russian. 650 7 $a National characteristics, Russian $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033503 650 7 $a Nationalism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 $a Political leadership $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069363 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Public opinion $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Politics and government $y 1991- 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01262050 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sharafutdinova, Gulnaz. $t Red mirror $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2020] $z 9780197502969 $w (DLC) 2020022926 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025249.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D631319CEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
