About the Book

This study, written by a Russian expert on the media, analyzes the unique role of the mass media--television and the press--in the social, political, and economic changes that began in the Soviet Union in 1985 under the name of perestroika and culminated recently in the country's dissolution. In addition, the work examines the restructuring of the media, from mouthpiece of the Communist Party to independent commentator. By viewing the struggle for control of the media as reflective of the country's political turmoil, the author provides a fascinating insight into the ways and means of Russian politics.

Review :
?In what is perhaps the first book on Russian mass media to appear since the political upheavals of the past several years, a Russian communications consultant with extensive American experience writes a broadly descriptive analysis of both print and broadcast media amidst dramatic transition. His conclusion is made stronger by the fact that unlike most previous "Western" books on the Soviet scene, this is written by a Russian insider who can see change at home and what still needs to be done..?-Choice "In what is perhaps the first book on Russian mass media to appear since the political upheavals of the past several years, a Russian communications consultant with extensive American experience writes a broadly descriptive analysis of both print and broadcast media amidst dramatic transition.
