Monopolies of the Word by Spartak Beglov is an original Soviet Cold War-era study of Western mass media, journalism and propaganda, published in Moscow in 1969.

The author examines newspapers, radio and television in capitalist countries and discusses how ownership, business interests, advertising and politics influence the production and distribution of information.

The book covers major Western press organizations and media owners, American and European journalism, radio and television, advertising, news agencies, propaganda techniques, public opinion and the media landscape of developing countries.

Written from an explicitly Soviet ideological perspective, the book is especially interesting today as a primary-source document of Cold War media criticism and Soviet propaganda studies.
