  • Violence, Journalism, and the Russian State Building Project
    “ENEMIES NOT AMENABLE:” VIOLENCE, JOURNALISM, AND THE RUSSIAN STATE BUILDING PROJECT Liam J Anderson A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Global Studies (Russian, Eurasian, and East European Studies) in the Graduate School. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Robert Jenkins Erica Johnson Graeme Robertson © 2019 Liam J Anderson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Liam J Anderson: “Enemies not Amenable:” Violence, Journalism, and the Russian State Building Project. (Under the direction of Graeme Robertson) Western coverage of Russian journalism often bemoans the current state of Russian independent media: shrinking every year, with an increasing number of websites, journals, and newspapers either forced to close following legal action or purchased by state-affiliated media companies. When Russian journalists appear in Western publications, it is often because of their murder of beating and the intense scrutiny that it receives from outside of Russia. While Russia is understood to be enormously dangerous for independent, critical journalists to operate in according to several journalism watchdogs, Russian independent media carries on, and remains a significant force in Russian civil society. Given the continued existence of independent Russian journalism, and its willingness to investigate the Russian state, why do certain members of the Russian media become targets of violence? This paper, through a case study approach, contends that, while no absolute cause can be identified all the time, journalists who attack the Russian state building project since Vladimir V Putin’s election to the Presidency in 2000 are at a greater risk of being attacked with their attackers receiving impunity for their actions.

  • Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door Newsletter
    This 80-page booklet was written in January, February, and March of 1993 and published as a Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door newsletter. I researched and wrote all the material except for the Moscow chapter, where Mike Evans did the footwork and writing. I edited the booklet in Moscow and sent it to Seattle for production and layout. Looking at the booklet eleven years later what is most interesting to me is that it is a snapshot of the former Soviet Union only a year and a half after its breakdown in the summer of 1991. This was a special time when the rules of social interaction and the ephemera of daily life were changing fast. I don't have any delusions that this booklet is a historical document of any great value but I am putting it up for free distribution on the web in hopes that it might give some pleasure to someone who wants to reexperience the spirit of those times. I have lightly edited the booklet's format for this web version and updated the fonts. The Cyrillic characters included in the original could not be preserved. The maps, and (unfortunately) the sample train ticket originally printed with the booklet are also not included. Please note that this book is still under copyright and any for-profit distribution is expressly prohibited. Ian Watson February 2004 Rick Steves' The Baltics and Russia Through the Back Door by Ian Watson Your timely Back Door guide to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tallinn and Vilnius. Entirely researched and written in 1993.
