{"product_id":"it-will-be-fun-and-fabrizio-fenghi-9780299324407","title":"It Will Be Fun and Terrifying: Nationalism and Protest in Post-Soviet Russia","description":"The National Bolshevik Party, founded in the mid-1990s by Eduard Limonov and Aleksandr Dugin, began as an attempt to combine radically different ideologies. In the years that followed, Limonov, Dugin, and the movements they led underwent dramatic shifts. The two leaders eventually became political adversaries, with Dugin and his organizations strongly supporting Putin's regime while Limonov and his groups became part of the liberal opposition.\u003cbr\u003e To illuminate the role of these right-wing ideas in contemporary Russian society, Fabrizio Fenghi examines the public pronouncements and aesthetics of this influential movement. He analyzes a diverse range of media, including novels, art exhibitions, performances, seminars, punk rock concerts, and even protest actions. His interviews with key figures reveal an attempt to create an alternative intellectual class, or a \"counter-intelligensia.\" This volume shows how certain forms of art can transform into political action through the creation of new languages, institutions, and modes of collective participation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fabrizio Fenghi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299324400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299324407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021","brand":"Fabrizio Fenghi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941463818495,"sku":"9780299324407","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_169e41ef-4498-4b5f-bf03-5d1666915171.jpg?v=1681453067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/it-will-be-fun-and-fabrizio-fenghi-9780299324407","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
