How does Russian propaganda work? Not the propaganda they aim at the West - but the propaganda they aim at their own citizens. Ian Garner studies Russian propaganda and he's the author of 'Z Generation: Into the Heart of Russia's Fascist Youth'. He joins the podcast to talk about Putin's control of the media, how social media influencers in Russia promote the war in Ukraine, and how Russia is creating a new cohort of fascists in their youngest generations.
