Who built the “temple of war”? Read historian Ilya Venyavkin’s book in the Meduza app (for free!)

From a propagandist and a Chekist to a popular satirist and a blogger “war correspondent,” what kinds of people, through their actions and ideas, helped Putin prepare Russians for the attack on Ukraine in 2022?

Now Temple of War can be read for free in the Meduza app.
