Television and Political Communication in the Late Soviet Union

This study draws on archival sources and oral history to examine how Soviet television involved audiences in political communication. The author argues that Soviet media tested audiences' emotional commitments to the Soviet lifestyle and its values, thus contributing to the sociopolitical durability of the Soviet Union until perestroika.
