By Jennifer Turpin
0-275-95043-3/978-0-275-95043-9
Description
This work is a study of the role of mass media in political change, specifically the recent changes in the Soviet Union. The output of publications by the USSR to various constituents is analyzed for content and direction. The use of the media to define the new Russia is shown. Those involved in Russian studies, media studies, international studies, and similar fields should be interested in this work.
Reviews:
-
Turpin writes engaging and interesting prose, free of jargon, gives a valuable accounting of the nominally independent Novosti Press Agency, and reveals much that is significant about the two publications that are foci of her case study.
—Choice
-
Although particularly attractive to those engaged in media studies, the accessible style of Reinventing the Soviet Self is appropriate to those interested in the Soviet Union: from Sovietologists to the general public.
—Canadian Slavonic Papers, Vol 39, 3-4, 1997
