Examining the role of dramatized narratives in Russian television,
this book stresses the ways in which the Russian government under
Putin use primetime television to express a new understanding of
what it means to be Russian, answering key questions of national
identity for modern Russians in dealing with their recent history:
What really happened to us?' and, accordingly, Why?' The book
covers important issues in Russian television today, including: *
the reworking of new national' on-screen heroes * its relationship
with classic literature * the revisionist portrayal of a romantic
portrait of life in the Soviet era * the role of thematic elements
such as love, fidelity, humour and irony * the particularly
pressing problem of crime and its representation on screen as Mafia
or police adventure, and its political usage by the Putin
administration. This book provides a detailed account of the
critical issues in contemporary Russian television, relating them
to broader social and political developments in Russian society.
