Gian Piero Piretto's 'Il paese di Putin' Decodes Propaganda Language

Gian Piero Piretto's book 'Il paese di Putin: 20 parole al servizio della propaganda', published by Raffaello Cortina Editore, analyzes twenty key terms used in Russian propaganda under Vladimir Putin. The work examines how language has been reshaped over twenty-five years of Putin's rule, focusing on semantic shifts and their social and historical impacts. Piretto's oblique perspective offers readers a tool for intellectual clarification, highlighting problematic nodes in contemporary discourse. The book is not exhaustive but aims to provoke reflection on the mutations of political language.
