Music and Power: Global Cultural Control
Update: 2025-03-27
Description
Many authoritarian regimes in various nations, such as Russia, Iran and Uzbekistan, manipulate pop music for political and propaganda purposes. In Russia, a viral song is perceived as a tool of the Kremlin, while in Iran, critical musicians face severe punishments, including the death penalty. Uzbekistan exercises tight control over artists through licensing and content censorship. These examples illustrate how music is exploited or suppressed to influence public opinion and maintain power.
