| Abstract | "This book examines how authoritarian regimes, accustomed to controlling the flow of information and channels of communication, contend with new communication technologies that, by design, promote open, decentralized, and transnational discussion and debate. It offers the first book-length study of the Russian-language internet's impact on political discourse in Russia, and the strategies adopted by Vladimir Putin and associates not only to secure and legitimate their authority, but also to harness new technologies to codify that power"-- Provided by publisher. |
