The internet and new media technologies have played an integral role in shaping public perception and debate in contemporary Russian politics. Be it in the transformation of the ruling United Russia party into the ?Party Swindlers and Thieves,? in government-sponsored watchdog sites (?Russia without Fools?) launched in the wake of mass demonstrations, or in behind-the-scenes hacking and ?bot? attacks, the RuNet has at key moments in the current election cycle been at the center of political maneuvering. ?Bots, Bloggers and Bureaucrats? examines the rhetorical and technological anatomy of a variety of such episodes and initiatives to reveal competing visions of the internet?s role in contemporary Russian politics. It likewise assesses their future viability in Russia as internet use continues to grow and compete with mainstream broadcast media for the public eye.
