Western
literature was dominated for a long time by stereotype Sovietological approach,
based on an assumption about the Soviet media, primarily as organs of
propaganda. This limited and largely biased approach was an obvious consequence
of the close nature of the USSR
and other socialist countries where Western researchers had hardly any
possibility to do empirical research. In the cold war era of the last century
this was understandable but today - not. Openness of borders, archives,
academic institutions, the opportunity to visit the media, talk with the old
generation of journalists - all this offers new ways for in-depth and
comprehensive examination of the role of media in the era of socialism. This
new book edited by independent researcher Savas Coban does such an attempt by
inviting young researchers from post-socialist countries in Eastern Europe and
the former USSR.
The value of this book is that it represents the work of a new generation of
researchers, who has grown up in a turbulent period of change, has personal
experience and family memory of how it was, and wishes to examine the recent
past of their country and media system. No wonder that the authors rely not
only on Western, ‘secondary’ sources of information, but also on their domestic
studies published in their native language. They are familiar with Western
literature about their countries, but do not take it as gospel. Taken
separately, the chapters are case studies of particular media or their national
media system in the period of socialism. Taken together, they create the
many-voiced narrative of how the media worked in an era of socialism, and what
this era was for people. As their findings suggest, media fulfilled different
roles, not just political propaganda, but also education, enlightenment,
mobilization, and culture. With these roles media enjoyed the large popularity
and trust in society. Their findings also show how the media and citizens
prepared for political change in the country. This book will find its reader
among those who are interested in issues of media in post-socialist Europe and
the former USSR,
and also among those who work in the interdisciplinary fields of media studies
and memory studies.
