Description

Militarizing Men: Gender, Conscription, and War in Post-Soviet Russia by Maya Eichler explores how masculinity is linked to military service. While there's no inherent connection between men and the military, this relationship needs to be created and maintained to fill ranks and engage in combat. Eichler examines the challenges of conscription in post-communist Russia, including widespread draft evasion and desertion, as well as anti-draft activism by soldiers' mothers. She also identifies channels through which militarized gender identities are reproduced. This study applies the concept of "militarized masculinity" to Russia for the first time. By analyzing these issues, Eichler sheds light on how men's roles in war and conscription are constructed and maintained in a post-Soviet context.
