| Summary |
This is the first book to explore the phenomenon of glamour and celebrity in contemporary Russian culture, ranging across media forms, disciplinary boundaries and modes of inquiry, with particular emphasis on the media personality. Considering both general tendencies and individual celebrities, it examines the internal dynamics of the institutions involved in the production, marketing and maintenance of celebrities, and the context and imperatives which drive Russian society's fascination with glamour and celebrity |
