Description

Russian TV Series in the Era of Transition examines contemporary Russian television genres in the age of transition from broadcast to post-broadcast television. Focusing on critical debates and the most significant TV series of the past two decades, the volume's contributors-the leading US and European scholars studying Russian television, as well as the leading Russian TV producers and directors-focus on three major issues: Russian television's transition to digital post-broadcast economy, which redefined the media environment; Russian television's integration into global television markets and their genre systems; and major changes in the representation of gender and sexuality on Russian television.
