{"product_id":"casting-war-as-love-galina-bogatova-9783032122506","title":"Casting War as Love: Russian Colonialism in Familial Terms","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book unpacks the hidden imperial logic behind Russia's dominance over its neighbors, revealing how the Kremlin weaponizes \"familial system\" myths to justify control, including its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. From the Tsarist empire to Putin's digital propaganda, Galina Bogatova examines how Russia portrays itself as a disciplining \"father,\" a self-sacrificing \"mother,\" or an \"elder brother\" to post-Soviet states, protecting, subjugating, and manipulating them in the name of unity. Blending psychology, discourse analysis, and historical inquiry, this groundbreaking book exposes how language sanitizes oppression, legitimizes conquest, and sustains imperial ambitions. A thought-provoking exploration of power, ideology, and resistance, it offers a fresh perspective on Russia's enduring influence over its former empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Galina Bogatova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3032122503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783032122506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.35h x 6.43w x 0.62d","brand":"Galina Bogatova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48588372738303,"sku":"9783032122506","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/casting-war-as-love-galina-bogatova-9783032122506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
