Abstrakt: The system of public opinion manipulation is among the most important elements of the concept of "manageable democracy" practiced by the Russian political elite. The lack of traditional forms of mass political activity and the weakness of stable democratic myths rooted in the past as well as the modern ways of political communication constitute the preconditions for successful functioning of this system. It is based on the principal of simulation of democratic politics and includes executives' control over the most influential mass-media (first and foremost TV channels) and "political parties" and "civil organizations" deliberately creating for this purpose by professional salaried political consultants. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
