Regime and State in the Struggle for Russian Modernization
Russia’s need to modernize in order both to provide for its peoples and deliver on the ambitions of its rulers are perennial. The articles in this special edition speak to the difficulties that Russia has in modernizing and the hybridity that it demonstrates as modernization and economic development have been shaped by compromise and historical legacies. This introductory article introduces some of these themes by looking at how Russia has reprod…
Elena Chebankova, Political Ideologies in Contemporary Russia (Montreal and Kingston
Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method
Putin and the Incompleteness of Putinism
What constitutes Putinism, in particular its ideological nature, have become major issues of debate in the last few years. This discussion has been characterized by a tendency either to overestimate the role of ideology in the Russian political system, to see it as being akin to the role played by ideology in the USSR, or to discount the role of ideology quite heavily. This article argues that neither of these positions is correct and that we nee…
Russian Neo-patrimonialism and Putin’s ‘Cultural Turn’
Russian politics has been characterised by increasing cultural and political conservatism since Vladimir Putin’s return to the presidency. This article argues that Putin’s turn to cultural conservatism is a reaction to a crisis in Russia’s neo-patrimonial system. The article presents a model of neo-patrimonialism and argues that the turn to cultural conservatism under Putin is only a partial solution to the problems of neo-patrimonialism in Russi…
Populism and political development in hybrid regimes
Hybrid regimes like electoral authoritarianism blend elements of democratic and non-democratic political practices. Hybrid regimes can develop from populism or can themselves develop populism to explain and justify their democratic shortcomings. Where the latter occurs, populism is a tool of regime stabilisation rather than a form of ‘populism in power’. Moving from using some populist themes to assist regime stabilisation to official populism re…

The Russian Public Debt and Financial Meltdowns
Russia's Response to Crisis
Russia's recovery from the deep economic crisis it experienced in 2008–2009 did not deliver clear political dividends for the Russian leadership. This is because of the context in which the crisis occurred and the way that the leadership, particularly President Medvedev, and many of its critics described the crisis. The oil-fuelled boom that preceded the crisis had the effect of deepening it. Economic recovery based on rising energy prices looks …
Economic and Political Hybridity
Hybridity in non-democratic states can be economic as well as political. Economic hybridity is produced by the same kind of pressures that create political hybridity, but the relationship between economic and political hybridity has not been as much studied by political scientists. This article uses the concept of patrimonial capitalism to look at economic hybridity, its stability and relationship to political hybridity. Using examples from Russi…

Institutional factors and Russian political parties
Presidentialism and other institutional factors have been major influences on the development of Russia's party system. Why and how they have influenced party development has changed over time. This article looks at these changes and explains them as a response to the evolving neo-patrimonial system in Russia. Rules establishing electoral institutions have been particularly important and have been changed according to the needs of regime stabilit…
Russian Patrimonial Capitalism and the International Financial Crisis
The international financial crisis brought Russia's run of economic growth to a halt and has given a greater sense of urgency to President Medvedev's calls for modernization. This, however, does not mean that crisis has changed Russia or its political economy. Russia's economic system is a form of patrimonial capitalism, a particular form of patrimonialism created when patrimonial systems reform under the influence of global economic forces. Russ…

August 1998 and the development of Russia's post-communist political economy
Russia's experience of financial crisis has been novel: crisis was followed by growth rather than depression, and did not lead to any increased role for foreign economic agencies or actors in Russia's economy. This novel experience resulted from the structure of Russia's economy in the 1990s, the limited role of financial intermediation in the Russian economy and rising oil prices. Consequently, the chief outcome of crisis has been political, the…

Gorbachev and the place of the party in Soviet reform, 1985–91
THE EVENTS OF AUGUST 1991 have at last opened up the possibility of radical reform in the former Soviet Union. Although Soviet politics have changed dramatically since 1985, there was always a moment of indecision in the reformist political project of Gorbachev. No matter how far the Soviet political system was changed between 1985 and 1991 the idea of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) as an institution whose role was to provide some…

The global economy, reform and crisis in Russia
Russian economic reformers of the early 1990s believed that integration with the global economy would facilitate the construction of a market economy and the reconstruction of the Russian state by helping to break down economic interests inherited from the USSR. However, the global economy did not act as an agent of transformation in Russia. Russia's reintegration with the global economy became narrowly focused on the sale of treasury bills to fi…

The myth of equilibrium
It has become common to describe Russia as a state that has only achieved partial reform due to the influence of powerful economic forces, the ‘winners’ of economic reform, and to assume that the Russian state lacks autonomy. This paper questions how far reform in Russia has been compromised by the power of winners. The failure of economic reform between 1992 and 1998 is explained as a policy response by state officials unable to manage tendencie…
Classifying Russia's party system
Party development in Russia has been chaotic, but can be explained in part by looking at the interactions between Russian political parties. The application of Sartori's scheme for classifying party systems suggests that party competition in Russia shows signs of both centrifugal and centripetal pulls. This has several contradictory effects. Anti‐systemic parties have their principled opposition to Russia's post‐communist development reaffirmed a…

Soviet ideological discourse and Perestroika
The role played by Soviet ideology during the perestroika reforms has not been fully analyzed because ideology has not been seen as a structural force influencing Soviet political life. This paper charts the effect that this neglect of ideology has had on some explanations of perestroika and seeks to redress the balance. Various ways of dealing with ideology during perestroika are examined and an alternative approach to Soviet ideology (viewing i…

The politics of transition
Changing social-class distribution of heart disease.
Analysis of mortality trends over 40 years in England and Wales showed that mortality from coronary heart disease had become progressively more common in working-class men and women than in those from the middle and upper classes. The change was most noticeable for men. Whereas in 1931 and 1951 heart disease was more common in men of social classes I and II, by 1961 it was more common in men of classes IV and V. This change in social-class distri…
