State-sponsored global PR effort[edit]
At the end of 2008, Lev Gudkov, based on the Levada Centerpolling data, pointed out the near-disappearance of public opinionas a socio-political institution in contemporary Russia and its replacement with the  state propaganda. [ 7]
Shortly after the Beslan school hostage crisisin September 2004, Putin enhanced a Kremlin-sponsored program aimed at "improving Russia's image" abroad.[8] One of the major projects of the program was the creation in 2005 of Russia Today (now known as RT) an English language TV news channel providing 24-hour news coverage. Towards its start-up budget, $30 million of public funds were allocated. [ 9][10]A CBS Newsstory on the launch of Russia Today quoted Boris Kagarlitskyas saying it was "very much a continuation of the old Soviet propagandaservices". [
