Russian Media Analyst on Putin’s Media Crackdown and Ukraine’s Wartime Unity

Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentOn Friday the Russian parliament passed a bill to crack down on the country’s last remaining independent media outlets in the wake of last week’s invasion of Ukraine and the blowback that the government has received for its actions. In order to stifle critical cover, the government is introducing sentences of up to 15 years in prison for intentionally spreading “fake” information about military action.Ahead of the vote, Variety spoke to Boston-based Russian media analyst Vasily Gatov, who is a Senior Fellow at the USC Annenberg Center on Communication, about how President Vladimir V. Putin has been dismantling Russia’s free press.
Here are some of Gatov’s observations on the situation. Russia was a thriving market for independent media from the mid-90s up until 2011. Although Putin constantly tried to limit it, during the first ten years of his reign, independent media was thriving. Only in the TV field, Putin’s ideology led to wanting to somehow control editorial policy.
Not the content itself, by censoring it. But wanting to be able affect editorial policy when the Kremlin didn’t like it. In any event, this was primarily directed towards television.
