This book describes the rise of independent mass media in Russia,
from the loosening of censorship under Gorbachev's policy of
glasnost to the proliferation of independent newspapers and the
rise of media barons during the Yeltsin years. The role of the
Internet, the impact of the 1998 financial crisis, the succession
of Putin, and the effort to re-impose central power over privately
controlled media empires mark the end of the first decade of a
Russian free press. Throughout the book there is a focus on the
close intermingling of political power and media power, as the
propaganda function of the press in fact never disappeared, but
rather has been harnessed to multiple and conflicting ideological
interests. More than a guide to the volatile Russian media scene
and its players, Media and Power in Post-Soviet Russia poses
questions of importance and relevance to any functioning democracy.
