It shows how long-cherished hopes for an open society in which people would speak freely and tell truth to power fared under Gorbachev?s glasnost; how free speech was a real, if fractured, achievement of Yeltsin?s years in power; and how easy it was for Putin to reverse these newly won freedoms, imposing a ?patrimonial? media that sits comfortably with old autocratic and feudal traditions. The book explores why this turn seemed so inexorable and now seems so entrenched. It examines the historical legacy, and Russia?s culturally ambivalent perception of freedom, which Dostoyevsky called that ?terrible gift?. It evaluates the allure of western consumerism and Soviet-era illusions that stunted the initial promise of freedom and democracy. The behaviour of journalists and their apparent complicity in the distortion of their profession come under scrutiny. This ambitious study covering more than 30 years of radical change looks at responses ?from above? and ?from below?, and asks whether the players truly understood what was involved in the practice of free speech. 410 0$aBASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European studies. 606 $aMass media$xPolitical aspects$zSoviet Union 606 $aMass media$xPolitical aspects$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aFreedom of speech$zSoviet Union 606 $aFreedom of speech$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aMass media policy$zSoviet Union 606 $aMass media policy$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xPolitics and government$y1991- 607 $aSoviet Union$xPolitics and government$y1945-1991 615 0$aMass media$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMass media$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aFreedom of speech 615 0$aFreedom of speech 615 0$aMass media policy 615 0$aMass media policy 676 $a302.230947084 676 $a302.230947084 700 $aSkillen$b Daphne.$0905111 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153198203321 996 $aFreedom of speech in Russia$92024372 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01284nam0 22002891i 450 001 UON00178434 005 20250423095445.426 010 $a09-480-2705-3 100 $a20030730d1986 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aGB 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aˆThe ‰system versus progress$eSoviet economic problems$fGertrude Schroeder$gintroduced by Phil Hanson 210 $aLondon$aThe Centre for Research into Communist Economies$d1986 215 $a100 p.$d21 cm. 410 1$1001UON00171372$12001 $aˆThe ‰State of Communist Economies $1210 $aLondon$aThe Centre for Research into Commu nist Economies$v2 606 $aUNIONE SOVIETICA$xCONDIZIONI ECONOMICHE E SOCIALI$x1947-1990$3UONC034545$2FI 620 $aGB$dLondon$3UONL003044 676 $a330.947$cSituazione e condizioni economiche.
