The research shows the growing use of social media by societal actors to support the mission of state, and in the case of Russia, to bring militarised patriotism further into a young person's everyday experience. (5)

Despite the different techniques Nagornyy & Zanko employ, we found both leaders use Telegram to engage youth with the patriotic projects of their groups and promote a young person's 'active engagement' with state politics as a characteristic of being a 'good young patriot.' (4/)

We consider to what extent these two figures employ social media influencer techniques to engage their audience.
For different reasons, we found:
- Nagornyy does employ SMI techniques✅
- Zanko does not employ SMI techniques ❎ (3/)

The work examines the online presence of Youth Patriotic Group leaders - Nagornyy (Yunarmiya) & Zanko (Victory Volunteers) - on Russian social media site, Telegram, over a 6-month period. (2/)
