In IRIS 1995-1 we reported on a draft Statute on State support for the Mass Media in the Russian Federation. Now we can add that the State Duma approved the Bill in November 1994 after three readings, but that it was then rejected by the upper house, The Council of the Federation on 9 December 1994. The original text was published in Rossiyskaya gazeta of 2 November 1994.
