Sommario/riassunto

Introduces readers to the Russian media, its current landscape, and its history. Focusing on how the Government has traditionally controlled the media through censorship, financial involvement, and relations between media moguls and the State, this book analyses to what extent the Russian media has become 'free' since the fall of Communism.
