Abstract: In this research paper Russian media, specifically, television was analyzed through history of the whole Russian mass media and comparison with current situation of press, radio and Internet. This analysis was made by two arguments: television is not media because it is strongly commercialized and is a mean of propaganda and governmental manipulation. Russian history follows a cyclical pattern and tends to repeat itself, something that is particularly evident in its press, and this process also goes to other media outlets. Events on the end December of 2011 and March of 2012 clearly show how government regulates information broadcasted on TV news. In conclusion, television itself is not guilty for these problems, but people should learn how to differentiate and search truthful and important information themselves.
