oligarchs were two men who owned media empires. Vladimir Gusinsky
and Boris Berezovsky were pressured to give up or close their
Kremlin-critical television stations. For this reason the essay on
hand deals with the argument that Putin's crackdown on the
oligarchs has worsen the press freedom in Russia. Firstly a short
overview of the media development under president Boris Yeltsin is
given to point out that the Russian media was not completely free
compared to Western standards. Then the necessary facts of the
Gusinsky and Berezosky case are described and afterwards the
short-term and long-term results concerning press freedom are

the oligarchs had strong negative effects on the media because
press freedom is an initial feature of democracy.
