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. 410 0$aEurasia past and present. 606 $aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTelevision viewers$zSoviet Union 606 $aTelevision viewers$xAttitudes 606 $aTelevision and politics$zSoviet Union$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aSoviet Union$xPolitics and government$y1953-1985 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aTelevision viewers 615 0$aTelevision viewers$xAttitudes. 615 0$aTelevision and politics$xHistory 676 $a302.2345094709045 700 $aEvans$b Christine Elaine$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01827425 712 02$aLouis Stern Memorial Fund, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956773103321 996 $aBetween Truth and Time$94395614 997 $aUNINA
