The authors argue that Putin has created an "informational autocracy," which relies more on media manipulation than on the comprehensive repression of traditional dictatorships. The fake news, hackers, and trolls that featured in Russia's foreign policy during the 2016 U.S. presidential election are also favored tools of Putin's domestic regime--along with internet restrictions, state television, and copious in-house surveys. While these tactics have been successful in the short run, the regime that depends on them already shows signs of age: over-centralization, a narrowing of information flows, and a reliance on informal fixers to bypass the bureaucracy. The regime's challenge will be to continue to block social modernization without undermining the leadership's own capabilities." -- Publisher's website 600 10 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- 600 17 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00444788 650 0 $a Information policy $z Russia (Federation) 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Information policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972596 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01262050 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Treisman, Daniel, $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019014355.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20190126011736.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA979646840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
