Elective course: Russian and Ukrainian Russian-language entertainment media - common origins, connections and the time of "special operation" 3200-M2-2PFR1
Russian and Ukrainian Russian-language entertainment media after the collapse of the USSR developed and functioned in the free market environment of Russia and Ukraine, competing for Russian-speaking viewers from the former USSR. What was and is important in the whole production process was not so much the prepared materials but the relationships between the individual artists. Of course, the content, especially in Russian media, is increasingly dependent on propaganda recommendations.
Until the creation of a separate league of student cabarets in Ukraine, most of the artists came from the so-called "KWN League," created in the USSR in the 1960s. Interestingly, the artists remained in constant contact, and it was only the occupation of Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk, and especially the "special operation" in Ukraine, that forced the worldview polarization of this milieu. At the same time, the worlds of politics, culture, media and celebrity remain in strong ties with each other, and the inflamed 2021 required artists to make professional and private decisions whose consequences will still be felt for many years to come.
Knowledge of the genesis and current state of the Russian-language entertainment media market is an important part of knowledge about Russian and Ukrainian society and culture. It will also allow one to consciously verify information coming from the world of these media and to understand also many political and social processes.
The hypothesis of "six degrees of distance" of acquaintances in this network is confirmed here, with the Ukrainian president (as a former participant in the KWN league) personally knowing his current opponents with whom he has previously worked. And whether the hypothesis of connections of friends in the network also applies to the participants of the course - we will check.
The course includes tracing the influence of "KWN" on the artistic community, introducing leading figures from the Russian and Ukrainian media and political worlds, and a socio-linguistic analysis of the figures selected for the course.
Selected excerpts from television broadcasts will also be subject to translation analysis.
