Television and Culture in Putin's Russia by Stephen Hutchings
This book examines television culture in Russia under the Putin government. It demonstrates how broadcasters have been enlisted in a national identity project to install a latter-day version of imperial pride in Russian military achievements, over which Putin's government exerts a form of remote control.'The most unconventional aspect of the book is that it addresses television not through the filter of the political, as is the case with analogous works, but from the standpoint of cultural studies and theories of cultural meaningHutchings and Rulyova also provide meticulous statistics on television programming in provincial cities as well as Moscow and St. Petersburg. Recommended.' - CHOICE, November 2009
