Opportunity knocks in Russian TV
Article Abstract:
The two main television channels in Russia, Ostankino and Russian Television, have broadcast advertisements since the end of communism, but politicians interfere with broadcasting and pirating is rife. The Motion Picture Association of America stopped exporting its films to CIS states in June 1991. Many VHS copies of Hollywood films were sold cheaply in street markets. Minister for press and information Judge Mikhail Fedotov organised a cultural credit scheme and a new copyright law will be passed in Feb 1993.
