Russia has a long and complex history with the media, dating back to the Soviet era. During this time, the media was tightly controlled by the state, and used as a tool to promote the government's agenda. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the media in Russia became more independent, but it has remained subject to significant government influence.

In recent years, the Russian government has cracked down on independent media outlets, and has increased its control over the media landscape. This has led to a decline in press freedom in Russia, and has made it difficult for independent journalists to operate. As a result, many Russians rely on state-controlled media for their news and information, which can lead to a distorted view of the world.

The relationship between the state and the media in Russia is a complex one, and it is constantly evolving. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of this relationship, from the Soviet era to the present day. It examines the role of the media in promoting government propaganda, the ways in which the government has censored and controlled the media, and the challenges faced by independent journalists in Russia.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the complex relationship between the state and the media in Russia. It is a valuable resource for scholars, journalists, policymakers, and anyone else who is interested in the role of the media in society.
