RUSS 271* - Putin’s Russia and the Art of Propaganda3 Credit Hours
This course explores the interconnections between news media, popular culture, governance, and propaganda in post-Soviet Russia. Students will examine the various factors that contribute to the production of news media in Russia and consider the key historical and cultural influences upon popular attitudes toward the information it produces and disseminates. Students will also consider the nature of propaganda more generally. Is it always clear to us when bias or state pressure is present? Students will develop a critical eye for detecting bias in Russian (and other) news media.
