Description: |
An international collection of papers focused on media, culture and society in postcommunist Russia. Contributors deploy a wealth of primary data in examining the kinds of issues that are central to our understanding of the kind of system that has been established in the world's largest country after a period of far-reaching change. |
Synopsis: |
The nature of the system that has been established in postcommunist Russia is still a puzzle for specialists as well as a broader public. It is hardly a 'democracy' in the Western sense - but neither is it a society in which Communists are still in power. The contributors to this volume, a group of leading international specialists who draw throughout on a wealth of primary data, focus on the issues that are central to any judgment of this kind: whether there is a Russian 'civil society'; how autonomous are its media; what kinds of policies does it pursue; and how can the system as a whole best be characterised. These are issues that in turn are central to our understanding of the kind of system that has been established in the world's largest country after a period of far-reaching change from late communism to a form of society we still find it difficult to label. |
