Article Abstract:

Newspapers now feature gossip columns, society pages and sensationalist reports, plus extracts from Western best-sellers. On Russian newsstands, Marxist newspapers now compete with a plethora of socialist and nationalist publications. However, Russia's volatile political situation means that its flirtation with Western press standards may not be permanent.
