| Title | Directing from Above: Political Censorship in the Russian Media |
| Summary | The media as a means of expression of the public opinion is considered to be not only the element of democracy but also the indicator of regime. Having started in the mid-1990s, a backward transition of Russia to a political regime of authoritarianism has fully or partially destroyed almost all political and social institutions, the media among the most violated ones. Applying various forms of political censorship to the most popular and influential mass media outlets the state forces them to express its ideology. The grave consequences of such censorship vary from voluntary editorial self-censorship and lack of objectivity to outlet closing and numerous infringements upon journalists, some with a lethal outcome. |
