The book highlights the importance of television broadcasting in shaping national discourse and the place of ethno-cultural diversity within it. It argues that television's role here has been reinforced, rather than diminished, by the rise of new media technologies. Through an analysis of a wide range of news and other television programmes, the book shows how the covert meanings of discourse on a particular issue can diverge from the overt significance attributed to it, just as the impact of that discourse may not conform with the original aims of the broadcasters. The book discusses the tension between the imperative to maintain security through centralized government and overall national cohesion that Russia shares with other European states, and the need to remain sensitive to, and to accommodate, the needs and perspectives of ethnic minorities and labour migrants. It compares the increasingly isolationist popular ethno-nationalism in Russia, which harks back to 'old-fashioned' values, with the similar rise of the Tea Party in the United States and the UK Independence Party in Britain. Throughout, this extremely rich, well-argued book complicates and challenges received wisdom on Russia's recent descent into authoritarianism. It points to a regime struggling to negotiate the dilemmas it faces, given its Soviet legacy of ethnic particularism, weak civil society, large native Muslim population and overbearing, yet far from entirely effective, state control of the media.BASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European Studies ;100.Television broadcastingSocial aspectsRussia (Federation)Television and politicsRussia (Federation)Race relations on televisionEthnicity on televisionTelevisionTelevision broadcastingNational discourseEthnicityEthno-cultural diversityRole televisionRussiaNew media technologyTelevision broadcastingSocial aspectsTelevision and politicsRace relations on television.Ethnicity on television.302.23/450947305.800947Hutching Stephenaut1242475Tolz VeraautOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910311933903321Nation, Ethnicity and Race on Russian Television2882126UNINA
