"For those who care about Russia's stormy evolution from dictatorship to democracy, here is an important story--the first extensive account of the crucially important revolution in Moscow television since 1985. From first-hand interviews with key figures, Ellen Mickiewicz has pieced together the inside story of repeated confrontations between Gorbachev, Yeltsin and the late Soviet leaders, and the daring correspondents, producers and anchors who dared to defy the Kremlin at such pivotal moments as the break-away of the Baltics, the August 1991 coup, the storming of Moscow TV in 1993, and the war in Chechnya. With encyclopedic detail, Michiewicz shows how the development of democracy in Russian has depended on the end of censorship and will continue to depend on a new spirit of political independence among Moscow's now-multiple TV networks. --Hedrick Smith, author, The NewRussians

This book is a close examination of the role of television in the political transition from communism to democracy in Russia.

The book has helped me out in my assignment writing - it is a great piece of writing, thanks to it's author Ellen.
The book covers all those subjects that somebody may think could not be found in a press. Since Russia remains a closed country up until now - this book is very usefull to uncover various parts in political and TV 'relationship'. It is very easy to read for anyone who might be interested in the subject.
The delivery from amazon was very fast and well packed.
Cheers.

Fascinating book.
6 July 2000
Format:Paperback
Excellent source on the Russian media, development of the Russian television. Very well researched. Full of insights on the role of top Soviet and Russian government officials in the development of Russian television. Good combination of personal interviews with journalists, experts, government officials, and analysis of public opinion research data, focus group data as well as personal observations. A good source for both academic and interest reading. If you'd like to understand what is happening with the Russian television today, this is a must reading.
