Instead, they follow the trends of the broader society and, as their members age, become more like the older cohorts (levada.ru/2025/04/04/molodezh-i-vlast-ot-lyubvi-do-nenavisti-i-obratno/).<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If one keeps that in mind, then the evolution of the attitudes of younger Russians toward the Putin regime over the last two decades makes perfect sense, Volkov continues, whereas if one treats them as if they were a group completely different unto themselves, the results of surveys are impossible to understood fully.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Young people are different from their elders not only in the sources they turn to for information but also in the level of their interest in political issues. They are more inclined than older people to use the Internet and social media and they are less interested in political issues of the day.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But – and this is Volkov’s main point – they generally track along the same direction as the population as a whole albeit with differences of varying degrees and as members of that cohort age, they become more like their elders both in their use of media and also in the level of their interest in politics.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That doesn’t mean that they will ever be the same as their parents in terms of interest or media use, but “it does mean … that young people will inevitably be drawn into the existing information network in our society and will assimilate the dominant ideas and assessments” of that society rather than be completely different.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “And that in turn means,” Volkov concludes, “that as today’s young people get older, most likely of all, they will become ever more similar in their views to the majority of Russians,” something some will find discouraging and others will welcome.</p> paul goble Ukraine war latest: Chinese soldiers fighting for Russia, claims Zelensky -

The Buryats were the face of the 2014 Russian invasion of the Donbass. Many Russians are trapped into the idea that everything Western is good and everything eastern is bad, and opposition Russians view criticizing them as a way to escape responsibility for what has happened in Ukraine.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “According to the latest research” carried out by Wake Forest scholar Adam Lenton, she continues, “the opposition public in Russia is even more xenophobic than is Russian society as a whole” in part because those who oppose Putin’s war in Ukraine can then say “’we aren’t guilty; it’s those wild Asians whom we aren’t able to control.”<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Vyushkova says that “this phenomenon can be called a manifestation of ‘Eurocentric anti-colonialism,’ a paradoxical development in which the condemnation of one form of imperialism is accompanied by support for the continuation of another” especially as many Russians think Russian colonialism was both peaceful and positive.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (Even many Buryats believe that because at the end of the Soviet period, they were among the most successful non-Russian groups, having accepted Russification as a price worth paying for better lives otherwise, she says. Only more recently have they begun to learn the truth about this trade-off.)<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But that doesn’t mean that independence is necessarily the answer, Vyushkova continues. “Backers of independence are becoming more numerous, but as before, there are very few of them; and they aren’t popular. Ethnic thinking remains in second place.” And as for herself, she fears that “independence doesn’t guarantee either democracy or the defense of Buryat rights.”<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She says her greatest fear is that “if independence takes place via ‘a Prigozhin scenario, then this will lead to the establishment of a Trans-Baikal Bandit-Cossack Republic” through which drugs will flow through into Russia and wood and gold will flow in the opposite direction into China. The Buryats will not have any rights or democracy in such a state.”<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is thus the real risk that “independence will only result in a society with old authoritarian models, one in which the people will be pushed around and cry out for Grandpa Putin … The region is already full of illegal weapons and there are many with combat experience. If former military men end up in power, the criminal world will merge with them.”<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “That is why I fear that in an independent Buryatia, war criminal rather than democrats will be free and that those who opposed the war won’t have any place in this country. Even in an independent Buryatia, I fear, we will be persecuted just as we are now, in the same authoritarian state but in a new form.”<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And Vyushkova concludes sadly that “we don’t want to discuss this, but I think that the first step to the solution of a problem is to acknowledge that it exists.” <br /></p> paul goble Brussels eyes fresh retaliation as it struggles to counter Trump tariffs https://www.ft.com/content/8499e3f4-e708-4c00-87ac-b144e899e430 FT.com - World, Europe urn:uuid:625c57fe-baea-cff6-5017-44db1d978104 Tue, 08 Apr 2025 10:03:15 -0400 EU slow to agree measures as member states divided over how hard to hit back Russia pushes Ukrainian troops from one of their last footholds in Kursk region, army says - Reuters https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMixwFBVV95cUxPTlB5OG5jT1A2elgwRWVVT0FzZ1NTVEd6RjhNTXlTWUJNQ0h4Mk9mTUhOYlZZQnhaYjBXMml1NUdmbGFUTWY3d29vLTQ2eGdVeUYwcE1ZcTRtR2FiOXZSdURDbXNmQk5UbzVjd0pFc1BFY2w3Vy1pS1d3Nkw0RWpRX3RtLS1ORkc0MzVQZEoxWE1mV09pYlNLUTlJb25DdkJYcGN6cURZXzRud2hvTnFiX04yV2FKck1LQUFtNERHOG0xV0ZfWXFB?oc=5 Russia - Google News urn:uuid:27d0cb22-3342-c8ca-cab1-a9987883d24c Tue, 08 Apr 2025 09:58:33 -0400 <a href="https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMixwFBVV95cUxPTlB5OG5jT1A2elgwRWVVT0FzZ1NTVEd6RjhNTXlTWUJNQ0h4Mk9mTUhOYlZZQnhaYjBXMml1NUdmbGFUTWY3d29vLTQ2eGdVeUYwcE1ZcTRtR2FiOXZSdURDbXNmQk5UbzVjd0pFc1BFY2w3Vy1pS1d3Nkw0RWpRX3RtLS1ORkc0MzVQZEoxWE1mV09pYlNLUTlJb25DdkJYcGN6cURZXzRud2hvTnFiX04yV2FKck1LQUFtNERHOG0xV0ZfWXFB?oc=5" target="_blank">Russia pushes Ukrainian troops from one of their last footholds in Kursk region, army says</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="#6f6f6f">Reuters</font> International Booker Prize Shortlist: 6 Books to Talk About https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/books/international-booker-prize-shortlist.html NYT > Europe urn:uuid:3cf61042-2135-0cab-2b40-98923a19de1d Tue, 08 Apr 2025 09:51:01 -0400 The nominees for the translated fiction award “don’t shut down debate, they generate it,” said the author Max Porter, who leads the judging panel.
