Summary:
"This book explores how the Russian media, in particular television,
have shaped Russian politics in the post-Soviet era. It examines why
the Russian mass media failed so spectacularly to develop as a pillar
of civil society and aid to democratization, instead evolving into a
mouthpiece for special interests. The book employs a range of data,
including public-opinion surveys, content analysis of television
news, focus groups, and in-depth interviews, to analyze the Russian
elections in the period since 1993."--BOOK JACKET.
