From the supplier: Boris Yeltsin's victory in the first direct presidential election ever held in Russia is due to the machinations of his American public relations advisors who were accused of having started a propaganda effort against Communist candidate Gannady Zyuganov. Yeltsin's American advisors exploited the issue of bringing back the terrors of the past if Zyuganov were elected. The message that Yeltsin voters are sensible people was aired over both the state-owned and private media. However, this experience merely taught Russians how to use dirty, manipulative tricks in shaping voting behaviors.

Product Description

The end of communist rule in the Soviet Union brought with it a brave new world of media and commerce. Formerly state-owned enterprises were transformed, often through private ownership, and new corporations sprung up overnight to take advantage of the new atmosphere of freedom.

Until now, most research on media and news production in Russia has focused on the scope of government control and comparisons with the communist era. However, extra-governmental controls and the challenges of operating in a newly capitalist environment have been just as important – if not more so – in the formation of the new media climate. Filling the gap in the literature, this book examines the various agents who ‘make’ the news, and discusses the fierce struggle among the various agents of power involved. Drawing on existing theories and scholarship, the book provides a wealth of detail on the actual daily practices of news production in Russia. Original research is combined with compelling first-hand accounts of news production and dissemination to provide an incisive look at the issues and power structures Russian journalists face on a daily basis.
