Description

Post-Soviet Russia in the 1990s saw a surge in civic participation.

The traditional power structure officially relinquished control of political rhetoric and a nascent civil society had begun to emerge.

Free elections and political partisanship between reformist and conservative elements of Russian society, spurred on by Russia’s economic troubles, gave a “Wild West” tenor to public rhetoric that was reflected in the election campaigns of 1993, 1995, and 1996.

In this volume, the authors examine, through a series of contemporaneously written essays, the arc of government rhetoric during the height of media freedom, the quest for a new national identity, and the struggle for self-government.
