The present study aims to describe the transformation of regional media through the evolution of the political processes, namely regional gubernatorial elections, in modern Russia. There is a very limited number of studies on regional media and the changes they underwent. The majority of the existing research is focusing on the economic perspective (i.e. how the media in the Russian regions are subsidized from the state budget) rather than the interconnection of political and media sphere in regions. Conducting a series of in-depth interview with most outstanding representatives of both spheres mentioned above, it is expected to point out specific and key features of the transformation of regional media in Russia due to the formation of the new political reality in modern Russia.
