Introduction to Symposium on Post-Soviet Radio

摘要

It has been about 20 years since the Soviet Union dissolved into individual states. The old Soviet propaganda system that controlled radio gave way to new structures and programs that were radically different from what the Soviet bloc allowed. There have been a few scholarly works that have examined radio in Russia and they point to the early 1990s, 1991 in particular, when significant changes occurred (Kulikova, 2012; Yudin & Keith, 2003). Even fewer works have examined radio in the various countries that emerged after dissolution of the USSR.
