Berezovsky, speaking during a visit to Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, said Yeltsin had no authority to fire him and that only a formal decision by CIS leaders could remove him from his post. A Kremlin spokesman said that Yeltsin's decision on Thursday to fire Berezovsky reflected Yeltsin's long-standing objections to Berezovsky's interference in government affairs. But Berezovsky said the decision by Yeltsin, who is hospitalized with a recurring ulcer, harked back to the days of the Soviet Union.

"The president's message is quite clear – he is assuming even more powers and is going to decide things by himself," business daily Vedomosti wrote about the nomination of former tax police chief Mikhail Fradkov, 53. Putin, who is certain to win a second Kremlin term in a national election on March 14, sacked influential and independent-minded Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov last week. He said his choice of a new premier would demonstrate to voters his plans for the second term and give Russia a team capable of reaching an economic breakthrough.

HOME Asbury Park Press Aug 29, 2003 Russian Media Mogul Out on Bail in Greece By THEODORA TONGAS Associated Press Writer ATHENS, Greece (AP) A former Russian media tycoon was released on bail from a Greek maximum security facility Friday pending an extradition request from Moscow, where he is accused of fraud and money laundering in connection with a $262 million loan. Casually dressed in slacks and a T-shirt, Vladimir Gusinsky, who is still barred from leaving Greece, made no comment as he got into a car headed for a luxury hotel. Gusinsky, one of Russia's so-called oligarchs who once counted the independent NTV television station as part of his media empire, was arrested Aug. 21 at the Athens airport after arriving from Tel Aviv, Israel, reportedly for a family vacation. Airport officials found Gusinsky's name on an Interpol wanted list for fraud in excess of $250 million. A prosecutor ordered him held pending an extradition request from Russia. Moscow, however, so far has not filed such a request, according to Greek officials and Gusinsky's lawyers. The Russian Prosecutor General's Office said Tuesday that it was preparing one.

Behind the Screen : the new Russian Media by lev manovich Use the slide show below to view images. SELECT IMAGE Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Olga Tobreluts, "Gore ot Uma" 1994. SHOULD WE BE SURPRISED One of these threads is the attitude of suspicion and irony. Moscow's Alexei Shulgin writes of the excitement generated by interactive installations: "It seems that manipulation is the only form of communication they know and can appreciate. They are happily following very few options given to them by artists: press left or right button, jump or sit." He views artists as manipulators employing the seductions of the newest technologies "to involve people in their pseudo-interactive games obviously based on [the] banal will for power... [The] emergence of media art is characterized by [the] transition from representation to manipulation." [1] Shulgin views interactive art and media as creating structures that are frighteningly similar to the psychological laboratories the CIA and the KGB operated during the Cold War era. I was born in Moscow and grew up there during Breznev's era, so I find his thoughts not only logical but enthralling. Yet my investment in his conclusions doesn't blind me to the limitations of his analysis, or rather, its cultural specificity: it takes a post-communist subject to frame interactive art and media in such stark terms. For a Western artist, that is, interactivity is a perfect vehicle both to represent and promulgate ideals of democracy and equality; for a post-communist, it is yet another form of manipulation, in which artists use advanced technology to impose their totalitarian wills on the people. Further, Western media artists usually take technology absolutely seriously, despairing when it does not work; post-communist artists, on the other hand, recognize that the nature of technology is that it does not work, that it will necessarily break down. Having grown up in a society where truth and lie, reality and propaganda always go hand in hand, the post-communist artist is ready to accept the basic truisms of life in an information society (spelled out in Claude Shannon's mathematical theory of communication): that every signal always contains some noise; that signal and noise are qualitatively the same; and that what is noise in one situation can be signal in another.

The month before, the dismissal of the deputy secretary of the Security Council, Boris Abramovitch Berezovsky, was a major twist in a "media revolution" that has been in progress over the past year. Increasingly confident as a result of their support for Mr Yeltsin during the presidential elections of 1996, candidates for his succession have been buying into the press, radio and television, with the support of the financial and industrial groupings that they either own or influence. By Pascale Bonnamour An air of resignation pervades the corridors of the daily newspaper Izvestia in Pushkin Square, Moscow. Maxim Yusin explains the reason: "Since the newspaper was bought by the Lukoil oil company and the Onexim finance group, we have no idea what the future holds for us".

THE RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES ARE NOT RESPONDING IN ANY WAY TO MEDIA ITEMS OF THIS NATURE. The Moscow Helsinki Group (MHG) has released the results of its study of racist, nationalist attitudes and other xenophobic ideas in the Russian media. According to the MHG, over the past three years the number of media items disseminating intolerance and hatred of people in Russia who are not ethnic Russians has risen sharply in Russian- language newspapers, magazines, radio, and television in all 89 regions. According to the Prima news agency, the MHG found that xenophobia is expressed most strongly against Chechens and other people from the Caucasus. Americans are next, followed by Jews. Chechens are hated because of terrorism. Everyone from the Caucasus is disliked because of late they have "taken over" all major cities and frequently do not behave as befits their position of resettlers and guests, not respecting local customs and lifestyles.

There were few surprises generally, and none for the triumphant incumbent. The president's domination of virtually all actors in the political process the Duma, the Central Election Commission (TsIK), the media, local administrations, etc. produced a race that could be charitably described as "civilized," although opposition politicians would no doubt use another term. In many ways, it was the Kremlin's total control of the media that brought the whole show off so smoothly. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on 8 March issued a report that concluded baldly that state-controlled national television overwhelmingly the public's main source of national news devoted far more airtime to Putin than to any other candidate. "On the state-funded TV channels [Putin] has received coverage far beyond that which was reasonably proportionate to his role as head of state," the OSCE wrote. According to the organization's monitoring, for instance, ORT gave Putin two hours and 38 minutes of "overwhelmingly positive" coverage during the first two weeks of the official campaign period. "All other candidates combined received a total of only 22 minutes," the report stated. "The other two state-funded TV channels adopted a similar approach."

What's behind the arrest of Russian media mogul? By Paul J. Saunders * June 15, 2000 WASHINGTON The detention of Russian media tycoon Vladimir Gusinsky for questioning in an embezzlement case raises important questions about domestic developments in Russia. This is true whether or not Russian Vladimir Putin had advance knowledge of the arrest, which he called "unexpected" in comments released during an ongoing trip to Spain. Gusinsky has been under pressure from the Russian government for a number of months, since his media empire supported former Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov and Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov against Putin in the run-up to parliamentary elections last fall. The Moscow headquarters of Media-MOST, his media holding company, were raided by heavily armed tax police just a month ago. The raid was purportedly related to illegal surveillance activities by his company's security force. Given Russia's ruthless business environment, the earlier charges are not easy to dismiss. In the weeks since the May 11 raid, Gusinsky has sought to position himself and Media-MOST as persecuted defenders of Russia's free press because his television station and newspapers have opposed the Putin government and its war in Chechnya. While Gusinsky is right to question the government's motives, pressure on independent media is only a part of reason for the campaign against him.

N: While our relationship with Alexander Dybal - currently Gazprom-Media's Chairman - extends quite a time back, we could probably say that the origin of the Russian Media Partnership as it exists today was participation of Gazprom-Media's PR Director Irina Gan at the First U.S.-Russia Business and Labor Summit , organized by TPAA in New York in September 2003. Irina was inspired by Viacom's presentation at the meeting. The idea of KNOW HIV/AIDS - a cross-platform campaign across a media holding, implemented by Viacom together with Kaiser Family Foundation - provided a great model that could be realized on the very similarly structured Gazprom-Media. TPAA had been working on an idea of a cross-platform coordinated HIV awareness campaign in Russia for some time, and Gazprom-Media's interest was very timely. While we were working out the concept, the Kaiser Family Foundation asked TPAA to recruit representatives from Russia and Ukraine for the

Judge Baltasar Garzon said that Gusinsky, president of Russia's Media-Most, would be placed in house arrest after handing in a bail of 1 billion pesetas (5.5 million U.S. dollars). Gusinsky, charged with mass fraud and embezzlement by Russian prosecutors, was arrested on December 12 by Spanish police near the southwestern Spanish town of Cadiz on a warrant issued by Moscow. Ordered to hand out his Russian and Israel i passports, Gusinsky will be in tight 24-hour police custody in his villa in Cadiz while the Spanish authorities are considering the extradition request by Russia.

Only the Russian president whose activity is positively assessed by 75% of Russians is beyond competition. These are data distributed by the All-Russian Public Opinion Study Fund (VTsIOM) after surveys across Russia conducted on April 17-18 and June 26-27 this year in 100 populated localities of Russia's 39 regions, territories and republics. 1,600 people were interviewed at places of residence. 31% of respondents said they watch newscasts and analytical programs concerning politics every day. 32% watch such programs a few times a week. Thirty-five percent watch these programs occasionally or never. Russians' assessments of the quality of information-political programs differ. On the one hand, 38% of respondents believe that information TV programs have recently become more interesting, but 39% believe there have been no changes.
