SUMMARY:Informing Ourselves to Death: Conspiracy and Fantasy in Postmodern 
 Russia
DESCRIPTION:In the USSR\, information was a scarce resource shared only spa
 ringly with the population at large\; now Russians are awash in a flood of
  information. Yet each scenario proved conducive to unfettered suspicion a
 nd widespread conspiracy theorizing. Now the Russian media encourage viewe
 rs to believe they are surrounded by enemies who want to brainwash them wi
 th propaganda. Post-Soviet conspiracy theories peddle heroic fantasies of 
 a victimized nation and contradictory messages about the nature of human s
 ubjectivity.Eliot Borenstein ist Professor für Russistik und Slawistik an
  der New York University. Unter seinen vielfach ausgezeichneten Publikatio
 nen zur politischen Medienkultur Russlands finden sich zuletzt »Overkill:
  Sex and Violence in Contemporary Russian Popular Culture« [2007]\, »Plo
 ts against Russia: Conspiracy and Fantasy after Socialism« [2019] und »P
 ussy Riot: Speaking Punk to Power« [2020]. Demnächst erscheint seine Mon
 ographie zu viralen Netzphänomenen in Russland mit dem Titel »Meanwhile 
 in Russia…: Russian Internet Memes and Viral Video«. Borenstein ist zud
 em Herausgeber des Blogs »All the Russians« für das NYU Jordan Center f
 or the Advanced Study of Russia«.
