- Abstract
"The DJ Who 'Brought Down' the USSR: The Life and Legacy of Seva Novgorodsev" by Michelle Daniel explores the impact of Seva Novgorodsev's popular music broadcasts on the BBC Russian Service in the USSR. The book highlights Novgorodsev's ability to connect with his audience through his knowledge of Soviet culture and society, as well as his interactive presentation style. It also discusses the role of the BBC World Service in providing a trusted source of information and entertainment for young Soviet citizens. While the book suggests that Novgorodsev's broadcasts challenged the Soviet regime, it may overstate his influence and overlook the complexities of cultural consumption in the USSR.
