Abstract
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Russian radio medium underwent an unprecedented transformation. Newfound freedom of expression resulting from the era of Glasnost and Perestroika and the State's sanctioning of independent and commercial radio inspired a rapid increase in the number of station operations throughout the Federation. Today, Russian radio baffles a weak economy, political uncertainty, and technological change as it emulates Western programming and business practices. This article surveys selected literature on its subject while employing the insights and observations of prominent Russian media academics and journalists. It seeks to provide a concise overview of a truly unique event in the recent history of world radio.
