ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO, TODAY, TOMORROW... The book review: Fateeva, Irina A. (2020). Newspaper studies as the scientific and educational school in Russia: one hundred years ago. Monograph. Moscow: Moscow Pedagogical State University. 388 pages.
The monograph is devoted to the theory and history of newspaper studies in Soviet Russia in the 1920s and 1930s. The reviewer examines the book in two contexts: in the light of the international history (metatheory) of communication studies, as well as the modern formation of a holistic Russian history of journalism and media theory. The relevance of the monograph is due not only to the subject and historical periods that were less developed in previous works, but also to the politics of memory in Russia, which the author peruses within the framework of a specific research field. The author gives answers to the questions discussed in the modern Russian history of journalism and media theory. Among them are the choice of socio-political or philological and humanitarian dominants, academic or practical orientation, the comparison of national tradition and international trends, including evaluation of the Soviet period of development of national journalism schools.
