Z and V were the letters chosen by the Russian army invading Ukraine. Neither letter exists in the Russian alphabet. Since the invasion, Z has been accepted as a mark of an aggressive unstoppable Russia. Not everyone accepted the aggression and the war, but many did. This book is about them – the part of the nation represented by Z.
In the book, the author, a Russian by birth, describes key attributes of Putin’Z Nation. These attributes are tied into the country’s history and its economic structure to try to answer such questions as the origins of the Russian attitude of grievance and why Russians and their acolytes think that Russia should have more rights than neighboring countries. The book discusses the most important misconceptions about the Russian social hierarchy and the Russian people and explains how the so-called elite capitalizes on the warmongering inclinations of the Z people, with insights into the mentality of a large cross-section of Russian society. The author answers the question: why do Russians fight in the war and why they are so cruel? The book does not offer redemption or seek an excuse for Putin’Z Nation.
The judgments are frank and sometimes as brutal as the subjects. The author deviated from the traditional approach to books and included some relevant numbers that many readers may find helpful to understand the scope and context. The language is the Russian English of one for whom English is very much a second language – the author felt it would add authenticity and help the non-Russian reader to understand better.
Finally, reader beware – some aspects and prospective members of Putin’Z Nation are everywhere, including in your country.
