REP Programme Paper. The Russian Vertikal: the Tandem, Power and the Elections Introduction From among many important potential questions about developments in Russian politics and in Russia more broadly, one has emerged to dominate public policy and media discussion: who will be Russian president in 2012? This is the central point from which a series of other questions and debates cascade – the extent of differences between President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and how long their ‘Tandem’ can last, whether the presidential election campaign has already begun and whether they will run against each other being only the most prominent. Such questions are typically debated against a wider conceptual canvas – the prospects for change in Russia. Some believe that 2012 offers a potential turning point for Russia and its relations with the international community: leading to either the return of a more ‘reactionary’ Putin to the Kremlin, and the maintenance of ‘stability’, or another term for the more ‘modernizing’ and ‘liberal’ Medvedev.

Gör. Caner ÇAKI1 ÖZET Bu çalışmada, Sovyetler Birliği’nin yıkılmasından sonra Rus sinemasında komünizm ideolojisinin ne şekilde sunulduğu incelenmiştir. Bu açıdan, Rus sinemasında son dönemin en büyük gişe hâsılatı yakalayan filmlerinden biri olan 2008 yapımı Amiral Filmi göstergebilimsel yöntem kullanılarak ele alınmıştır. Çalışma göstergebilimin önemli temsilcilerinden Algirdas Julien Greimas’ın Eyleyenler Örnekçesi’ne göre analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında, komünizm ideolojisinin yeni dönem Rus sinemasında, Sovyetler Dönemi’nin tamamen aksine ağır bir şekilde eleştirildiği gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmada, Rus sinemasının Sovyetler sonrası ne şekilde evirildiği incelenen film özelinde ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır.

As a result, in this study, it was tried to show how the Russian cinema evolved after the Soviet.
