{"product_id":"soviet-media-in-transition-elena-androunas-9780275941475","title":"Soviet Media in Transition: Structural and Economic Alternatives","description":"This study, written by a Russian expert on the media, analyzes the unique role of the mass media--television and the press--in the social, political, and economic changes that began in the Soviet Union in 1985 under the name of perestroika and culminated recently in the country's dissolution. In addition, the work examines the restructuring of the media, from mouthpiece of the Communist Party to independent commentator. By viewing the struggle for control of the media as reflective of the country's political turmoil, the author provides a fascinating insight into the ways and means of Russian politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Androunas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275941477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275941475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Elena Androunas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001109364991,"sku":"9780275941475","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a570ce4-b55b-4baa-b22b-dcf5674f28d7.jpg?v=1751600091","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soviet-media-in-transition-elena-androunas-9780275941475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
