| Title | Hram vojny. Ljudi i ih idei, sdelavshie vozmozhnym rossijskoe vtorzhenie v Ukrainu |
| Description | Ilya Venyavkin examines how the life paths and political ideas of several public figures helped shape Russia’s passage from the unstable democracy of the early 1990s to the deeply militarised and chauvinist autocracy of the early 2020s. Through the stories of nine people, he traces the origins of the strange religion of war that captured many minds and led modern Russian society towards acceptance of the aggression against Ukraine. Among the figures he studies are the satirist Mikhail Zadornov and the army general Sergei Surovikin, the security official Nikolai Patrushev and the economist Elvira Nabiullina. Other figures are the priest Mikhail Vasiliev, the philosopher Alexander Dugin, the political strategist Timofei Sergeitsev, the media manager Margarita Simonyan, and the blogger Andrei “Murz” Morozov. Ilya Venyavkin is a historian and a co-founder of the Russian Independent Media Archive. Meduza is publishing "The Temple of War" together with the StraightForward Foundation. |
