The Origins of Central Television's Perestroika -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThe first full-length, archive-based history of Soviet Central Television's production and programming in the decades before perestroika In the first full-length study of Soviet Central Television to draw extensively on archival sources, interviews, and television recordings, Evans challenges the idea that Soviet mass culture in the Brezhnev era was dull and formulaic. Tracing the emergence of play, conflict, and competition on Soviet news programs, serial films, and variety and game shows, Evans shows that Soviet Central Television's most popular shows were experimental and creative, laying the groundwork for Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms and the post-Soviet media system.Eurasia past and present.Television broadcastingSocial aspectsSoviet UnionHistory20th centuryTelevision viewersSoviet UnionTelevision viewersAttitudesTelevision and politicsSoviet UnionHistory20th centurySoviet UnionPolitics and government1953-1985History.fastTelevision broadcastingSocial aspectsHistoryTelevision viewersTelevision viewersAttitudes.Television and politicsHistory302.2345094709045Evans Christine Elaine, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1557467Louis Stern Memorial Fund,DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910798539203321Between Truth and Time3820984UNINA
