Abstract:

This report presents an analysis of material from regional government-owned newspapers in the Republic of Sakha (Iakutiia). The analysis reveals a high level of respect for Sakha community leaders who regard the technological and industrial progress of the Sakha people as their main interest. The newspapers indicate tolerance for Sakha nationalism on the part of the republican government, even though this tolerance could jeopardize its relationship with the Russian Federation's central government.

Keywords: COMMUNITY LEADERS; FEDERATIVE RELATIONS; MEDIA STUDIES; NEWSPAPERS; SAKHA (IAKUTIIA)
