In Russia, the coverage of presidential and ministerial events is traditionally associated with censorship and lack of freedom of speech. This stereotype also concerns Kremlin and Government pools of journalists. The vast majority of scientists involved in the development of theoretical concepts, devoted to relations between mass media and power, studied this object from the outside. This research proposes a new methodological approach including a combination of expert interviews with Russian pool journalists and participant observation inside the closed informal organizations such as Kremlin and Government pools.
