Manipulation of Consciousness

Manipulation of Consciousness — the bestseller of Russian journalist and sociologist Sergey Georgievich Kara-Murza. It has gone through several editions, ranks among the top ten most popular journalistic books according to the Zeitgeist rating, and is included in sociology curricula. In this book, Sergey Kara-Murza reveals the mechanics of the entire machine of manipulation of public consciousness as a technology of domination and discusses the reasons for Russia's vulnerability to these manipulative methods. For our country, he argues, surrendering to the mercy of manipulators means a change in culture, thinking, and language. Accepting a new type of power over a person or building defenses against manipulations is a question of historical fate, and perhaps of the very existence of the Russian people.
