Reviews
Scholars with a particular interest in Soviet history will certainly want to check out this monograph, and radio historians with a particular interest in regulations or questions of aesthetics will also find this book of value. * Noah Arceneaux, History * The research for this book is nothing short of astounding in its thoroughness and thoughtfulness ... The book, then, is a model of its genre - a monograph on the social and cultural history of a technology that was also an art form. It should be read by all, especially students of Soviet history. * Lewis H. Siegelbaum, American Historical Review * utterly fascinating * David Harris, Communication (Journal of BDXC): Radio Books of the Year 2016 * Lovell usefully illuminates aspects of Soviet intellectual life ... engrossing * Dr Allan Jones, Reviews in History * This meticulous, perceptive study shows off its author's unusual strengths as a historian equally at home in the Politburo, the communal flat, and the offices of literary journals. The combination turns out to be vital for an understanding of Soviet radio, which was not only a political tool of the first order, but also a major cultural institution with a profound impact on Soviet life ... Lovell's book is rich in detail and keenly analytical. * Kristin Roth-Ey, Times Literary Supplement * Detailed and comprehensively-researched study * Slavic Review *
