  • The Jewish Topic in the Soviet Media: Political Environment, Priorities and Heroes
    National Resilience, Politics and Society Volume 1, No. 2, Fall 2019, pp. 143-177 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26351/NRPS/1-2/2 ISSN: 2706-7645 (print); 2706-7653 (online) The Jewish Topic in the Soviet Media: Political Environment, Priorities and Heroes Dmitry Strovsky Abstract This article examines the evolution of the Soviet media in relation to the “Jewish topic”, which has become an integral part, albeit not very visible, of their common content. In the Soviet years, the subject of Jewishness was limited to connotations and never came to the fore. Nonetheless, it did exist in the Soviet media, albeit subtly, and often acquired hidden outlines. The main attention in the article is therefore paid to the stuff which for a few decades centered on situations that in one way or another involved Jewish circumstances, as well as to names of journalists of Jewish origin, who worked in the media and greatly influenced public consciousness during different periods of national history. The author envisages processes and events of Soviet life that affected the above topic, and predetermined the professional priorities of Soviet journalists. These occurrences affected the evolution of the entire media process in the country. Consequently, the article promotes strictly academic generalizations, and contains elements of essays that are very important for reconstruction of real situations in certain periods of Soviet history. In the meantime, the article serves as a well-structured representation of diverse empirical material being useful for studies in political science, sociology, media history, as well as other humanities. Keywords: Communist ideology, Soviet propaganda, Israel, “Jewish issue” in the USSR, anti-Semitism, “rootless cosmopolitanism”, media, samizdat Dr.

  • Remembering in Public: on the Affective Management of History*
    Ab Imperio, 1/2013 Serguei Alex. OUSHAKINE REMEMBERING IN PUBLIC: ON THE AFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF HISTORY* Collective memory is not what historians say about the past. … Professional history matters, to be sure, but only to a small population. Collective remembrance is a set of acts which go beyond the limits of the professionals. These acts may draw from professional history, but they do not depend on it. Jay Winter and Emmanuel Sivan, “Setting the Framework” (1999).1 In general, any genuine democracy strives natu- rally towards popular festivals. Democracy presup- poses the free life of the masses. In order for the masses to make themselves felt, they must outwardly manifest themselves, and this is possible only when, * During 2010–2012, I presented earlier versions of this article at seminars and conferences at the University of Virginia, the University of Bremen, the Stockholm University, the Irkutsk State University, European University in St. Petersburg, and the Moscow Higher School of Economic and Social Sciences.

The world continues to watch in suspense as it anticipates which path Russia looks poised to take: western integration, or rebirth as an alternative world power. Recent developments in Russia’s media have shown it to be both a victim of Russia’s strenuous politics and a reflection of the country’s historical path. The media in Russia has been confronted with the same challenges and paradoxes of democracy that plagued the nation as a whole throughout the 1990s and that bear their fruit today. Thus, the aim of this book is to offer an introduction to the Russian media in its struggle to become the Fourth Estate, focusing in particular on its development in the post-Soviet era. This book will explore the Russian media along two vectors, delving into its 300-year history (time) in order to weigh in on its current landscape (space). It is not a history, but neither is it merely a descriptive almanac of the various Russian media and their roles. Given that readers are acquainted with Russia to some degree through current events, it is inevitable that they have also formed some picture of where its media stands.

  • Speaking for the Soviet Land : Voice and Mediated Communities in The
    Erschienen in: Russian Journal of Communication ; 8 (2016), 2. - S. 168-182 https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/19409419.2016.1188610 Speaking for the Soviet land. Voice and mediated communities in the age of early broadcast Dmitri Zakharine* Department of Sociology and History, University of Constance, Konstanz, Germany Following the concept of mediatization as an interweaving between technological change and social change, the study will specifically apply it to the relation of gender and political communities to the broadcast culture of Soviet Russia. Given its enormous size, cultural heterogeneity and religious diversity, Russia had every reason to assign special value to the efficiency of broadcast communication networks. By analyzing regulatory frameworks for broadcasting voices of popular film actors, announcers and representatives of power, the article singles out the features of Soviet broadcasting set in deliberate contrast to the broadcast cultures of Western countries. Keywords: mediatization; Soviet Union; gendered voice; cinema; broadcasting Mediated voices and mediated communities Recorded and electronically synthesized voices are technically produced in such a way that lis- teners get the impression of authentic human voices. However, it would be a mistake to assume that mediated voices have the same acoustic and social properties as natural voices. In designing an appropriate voice for broadcast, sound directors have to recreate everything that an ordinary voice displays. This encompasses relations between pitch and gender (vocal folds of men are longer and their voices are lower than those of women), timbre and life style (a rough voice allows to identify a habitual smoker), amplitude and social status (authorities do not exert themselves to speak louder in order to be heard), breath and mood (controlled breathing is at odds with an erotic mood, which is characterized by a release and yielding), pronunciation and ethnic background (Russians from the South say H whereas Russians from the North say G) and so on (Gradoll & Swann, 1989, pp.

The First Channel of Moscow’s Central Television Studio began to reach all eleven Soviet time zones in the same years, 1965-1970, that marked the beginning of a new political era, the period of decline, corruption, and cynicism, but also stability, relative prosperity, and vibrant popular culture, that came to be called, retrospectively, the “era of stagnation.” Nearly all of the iconic images and sounds of this period were mediated by television: Brezhnev’s slurred speech and corpselike appearance, the singing of Iosif Kobzon and Alla Pugacheva, the parades and funerals on Red Square, and Olympic figure skating, to name just a few. Quotations and jokes drawn from specific TV movies and shows are ubiquitous in post-Soviet memoirs and the press. Most strikingly, several of the most important programs created during the 1960s and 1970s are still a prominent part of current Russian television. This dissertation analyzes the political and ideological dilemmas of the Brezhnev era through the lens of television, the medium with which that era is so closely associated.

  • The Nordic Media and the Cold War
    THE NORDIC MEDIA AND COLD WAR THE NORDIC MEDIA AND THE COLD WAR The Cold War between the East and West during the period 1945-1991 was a rivalry where the world’s doom constantly emerged as a possible result. It was global and included northern European countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway in different ways. Historians are still discussing how Cold War history should be un- derstood in these countries, but they have rarely been concerned about mass media and communications. Meanwhile, many media scholars have neglected the theme entirely. In this book, these two areas of knowledge are combined in new research on the Nordic mass media, and their significance during the Cold War. A number of controversial topics are covered. Nineteen Nordic scholars sheds new light on Nordic print media in all four countries, but also write about radio and the television broadcasting. Extending the traditional Cold War research on media and communication to include sport, magazines for men, political cartoons, and films, the book lays the foundation for Cold War studies to become an integrated interdiscipli- nary field of knowledge, and a more central part of the Nordic media research than Henrik G. (Eds.) Bastiansen & Rolf Werenskjold before – with countless opportunities for exciting new research, with high relevance to world conflicts in our own time. Henrik G.
