Spotkanie z autorem książki „Z Generation: Into the Heart of Russia’s Fascist Youth”

In his work, Ian Garner shows how Russia has transformed into a fascist state, where young Russians are raised in the spirit of chauvinism and have been consistently subjected to increasingly aggressive indoctrination by the state for years. This is a very important book for anyone who wants to better understand changes taking place in Russia. The book has been translated and published in Poland under the title "Za Putina. Mroczny portret fascistowych słów w Rosji" (Prześwity, 2023).

The meeting will be in English. The conversation will be led by Dr Michał Woźniak.

Ian Garner is an Assistant Professor at the Pilecki Institute, Warsaw. He received his PhD from the Slavic Department at the University of Toronto (Canada) in 2017, where he wrote his doctoral thesis on the myth of the Battle of Stalingrad. A specialist in history and politics, his research interests primarily lie in Russian and Soviet military culture and propaganda. Before coming to the Pilecki Institute, he taught at the University of Toronto and Queen's University, Ontario. He remains an honorary fellow at the Centre for International & Defence Policy and a lecturer at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Canada, and regularly comments and writes for major media outlets across the world. In 2024, Dr Garner was made a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, London.
