“…Some scholars have suggested that authoritarian regimes may want to limit information that would fuel nationalist sentiment at home considering the potential implications for political instability (King, Pan et al 2013). Others have argued that authoritarian rulers may find some utility in fuelling nationalism at home if it helps them to rally citizens behind the regime (Dimitrov 2008;Hutchings and Tolz 2015;King, Pan et al 2013;Morozov 2012;Weiss 2013). The specific techniques of manipulation of public opinion will of course vary depending on the peculiarities of national politics.…”

“…It is well known that Russia deployed modern media technologies as a foreign policy tool in the wake of Ukraine's Euromaidan, annexation of Crimea and war in the Donbas (Cottiero, Kucharski et al 2015;Darczewska 2014;Dubovyk 2015;Dunn and Bobick 2014;Dyczok 2015;Galeotti 2015Galeotti , 2015Gaufman 2015;Hutchings and Szostek 2015;Hutchings and Tolz 2015;Leshchenko 2014;Oates 2013;Pomerantsev 2015;Schimpfossl and Yablokov 2014). Yet, systematic scholarship on Russia's precise media manipulative tactics has remained scarce.…”

“…Yet, systematic scholarship on Russia's precise media manipulative tactics has remained scarce. A handful of studies have rigorously analysed the narratives deployed in the Kremlincontrolled media in the wake of the Ukrainian crisis (Cottiero, Kucharski et al 2015;Hutchings and Szostek 2015;Hutchings and Tolz 2015;Nelson, Orttung et al 2015). Yet, few other observers have gone beyond restating Russia's well-known shock tactics of broadcasting fabricated allegations on state TV like the alleged crucifixion of an ethnically Russian boy; or the image of a heavily pregnant Russian woman, ostensibly murdered by Ukrainian nationalists in the Donbas.…”

‘Russian Spring’ or ‘Spring Betrayal’? The Media as a Mirror of Putin’s Evolving Strategy in Ukraine

We develop a novel Russian-language electronic content analysis dictionary and method to analyse Russian state media's framing of the Euromaidan protests. We find that around the time of Crimea's annexation, the Kremlin-controlled media projected media narratives of protests as chaos and disorder along with legalistic jargon about the status of ethnic Russians and federalisation, only to abandon this strategy by the end of April 2014. The shift in media narratives corresponding to the outbreak of Donbas violence gives credence to arguments about Putin's tactical and interests-driven foreign policy, while nuancing those that highlight the role of norms and values.

“…Since these initial steps, there has appeared a bulk of literature on popular culture and the everyday. Among the topics in this field of research there are sexuality and love (Tiomkina andZdravomyslova 2002, Borisova et al 2008), celebrity (Goscilo and Strukov 2011, Goscilo 2013a, 2013b, fan and fandom (Vozianov 2011, Samutina 2017, TV and TV series Tishler (2003), MacFadyen (2008) and Khitrov (2016), Hutchins and Tolz (2016).

At the intersection of globalization and ‘civilizational originality’: cultural production in Putin’s Russia

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This special issue originates from a transnational collaboration of scholars in philology, comparative literature, social theory, sociology, anthropology, ethnography, and media studies. The collection strives to advance a research agenda built on the nexus of three intellectual and academic domains: post-Soviet 'Russian cultural studies', the research paradigm put forward by Cultural Studies, as well as empirical methods developed in sociology. The collection illustrates the importance of expanding the experience of Cultural Studies beyond its established spheres of national investigation, while it also speaks to the necessity to re-evaluate the hegemony of the English-language academic and cultural production on the global scale. The collection offers insights into the gamut of cultural practices and institutional environments in which Russian cultural production happens today. It shows how cultural industries and institutions in Russia are integrated into the global marketplace and transnational communities, while they also draw on and contribute to local lives and experiences by trying to create an autonomous space for symbolic production at personal and collective levels. Through diverse topics, the issue sheds light on the agency, i.e. practitioners and participants, creators and consumers, of Russian cultural production and the neoliberal practices implemented on creative work and cultural administration in Russia today. The Introduction outlines the development of academic studies on Russian cultural practices since 1991; describes main political developments shaping the cultural field in Putin's Russia; and, finally, identifies the Cultural Studies debates the editors of the collection find most productive for investigations of Russia, i.e. the instrumentalization of culture and culture as resource. Relocated in an analysis of a post-socialist society, these conceptualisations seem increasingly problematic in a situation where local and federal policies governing cultural and creative work focus simultaneously on marketization and on nationalism as the main tools of legitimizing the federal government.

“…Whilst the changes in press legislation and regulation in the 2010s signal a tightening regulation of the online sphere, the control and co-optation of the media in Russia is not as uniform as it might seem (Bodrunova & Litvinenko, 2013;Lehtisaari, 2015;Oates, 2013). There are manifestations of alternative voices in the state-controlled traditional media, such as TV (Hutchings & Tolz, 2015).…”

Here, more attention was given to different media sectors and to the relationship between media and power. The second wave dealt with a more stabilised media landscape in which the interplay of economic structures and political factors became more apparent (e.g. Koltsova, 2006), and it featured an increasingly nuanced understanding of mass media products and their reception (e.g. Hutchings & Rulyova, 2009).
