This book explores developments in the Russian mass media since the
collapse of the USSR in 1991. Complementing and building upon its
companion volume, Television and Culture in Putin's Russia: Remote
Control, it traces the tensions resulting from the effective return
to state-control under Putin of a mass media privatised and
accorded its first, limited, taste of independence in the Yeltsin
period. It surveys the key developments in Russian media since
1991, including the printed press, television and new media, and
investigates the contradictions of the post-Soviet media market
that have affected the development of the media sector in recent
years. It analyses the impact of the Putin presidency, including
the ways in which the media have constructed Putin's image in order
to consolidate his power and their role in securing his election
victories in 2000 and 2004. It goes on to consider the status and
function of journalism in post-Soviet Russia, discussing the
conflict between market needs and those of censorship, the gulf
that has arisen separating journalists from their audiences. The
relationship between television and politics is examined, and also
the role of television as entertainment, as well as its role in
nation building and the projection of a national identity. Finally,
it appraises the increasingly important role of new media and the
internet. Overall, this book is a detailed investigation of the
development of mass media in Russia since the end of Communism and
the collapse of the Soviet Union.
