“This is a timely book, when authoritarian regimes are tightening the noose around opposing forces and critical media. The Internet, if heavily stifled, remains the environment where critics can make their voice heard. The study casts light on the amazing “digital resistance” of Alexey Navalny, a world-known Russian anti-establishment political outsider. The author’s scholarly analysis of the dissident’s “communication project” provides also valuable insights on the chances of a democratization of the Russian public sphere.”

Like many disco groups of the 70s, Saint Tropez was a producers' brainchild, in this case of American producers Laurin Rinder & W. Michael Lewis who had already been successful with disco groups El Coco and Le Pamplemousse. Saint Tropez was a female group made up of three session singers. The first two albums Je T'aime (1977) and Belle de Jour (1978), both hugely successful disco albums with big symphonic orchestrations and a tight disco backing, all the instruments played solely by the two producers. Je T'aime offered Serge Gainsbourg's well-known classic in an equally sensual disco symphony. They also covered material by Van McCoy and Gregg Diamond's "Heart To Heart" (sung in French as "Coeur à coeur"), originally written for The Andrea True Connection. Belle de Jour followed the same formula, yielding two successful 12"s "One More Minute" and "Fill My Life With Love", and also covering Gloria Gaynor's "Most Of All". Typical for this kind of studio projects, lots of different singers were involved in the earlier '77 and '78 projects.
