As a new president takes power in Russia, this book provides an
analysis of the changing relationship between control of Russian
television media and presidential power during the tenure of
President Vladimir Putin. It argues that the conflicts within
Russia's political and economic elites, and President Putin's
attempts to rebuild the Russian state after its fragmentation
during the Yeltsin administration, are the most significant causes
of changes in Russian media. Tina Burrett demonstrates that
President Putin sought to increase state control over television as
part of a larger programme aimed at strengthening the power of the
state and the position of the presidency at its apex, and that such
control over the media was instrumental to the success of the
president's wider systemic changes that have redefined the Russian
polity. The book also highlights the ways in which oligarchic media
owners in Russia used television for their own political purposes,
and that media manipulation was not the exclusive preserve of the
Kremlin, but a common pattern of behaviour in elite struggles in
the post-Soviet era. Basing its analysis predominately on
interviews with key players in the Moscow media and political
elites, and on secondary sources drawn from the Russian and Western
media, the book examines broad themes that have been the subject of
constant media interest, and have relevance beyond the confines of
Russian politics.
