The book highlights the importance of television broadcasting in shaping national discourse and the place of ethno-cultural diversity within it. It argues that television's role here has been reinforced, rather than diminished, by the rise of new media technologies. Through an analysis of a wide range of news and other television programmes, the book shows how the covert meanings of discourse on a particular issue can diverge from the overt significance attributed to it, just as the impact of that discourse may not conform with the original aims of the broadcasters. The book discusses the tension between the imperative to maintain security through centralized government and overall national cohesion that Russia shares with other European states, and the need to remain sensitive to, and to accommodate, the needs and perspectives of ethnic minorities and labour migrants. It compares the increasingly isolationist popular ethno-nationalism in Russia, which harks back to 'old-fashioned' values, with the similar rise of the Tea Party in the United States and the UK Independence Party in Britain. Throughout, this extremely rich, well-argued book complicates and challenges received wisdom on Russia's recent descent into authoritarianism. It points to a regime struggling to negotiate the dilemmas it faces, given its Soviet legacy of ethnic particularism, weak civil society, large native Muslim population and overbearing, yet far from entirely effective, state control of the media. 546 English. 650 0 Television broadcasting|xSocial aspects|zRussia (Federation) 650 0 Television and politics|zRussia (Federation) 650 0 Race relations on television. 650 0 Ethnicity on television. 650 7 Film, TV & radio.|2bicssc 650 7 Media, information & communication industries.|2bicssc 650 7 Ethnicity on television.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01762141 650 7 Race relations on television.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01086568 650 7 Television and politics.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01146689 650 7 Television broadcasting|xSocial aspects.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01146764 651 7 Russia (Federation)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01262050 653 0 Television 653 0 Television broadcasting 653 0 National discourse 653 0 Ethnicity 653 0 Ethno-cultural diversity 653 0 Role television 653 0 Russia 653 0 New media technology 700 1 Tolz, Vera.|4aut 914 on1100529852 994 92|bCKE
