Unrealized Possibilities
The levels and types of upward mobility in Soviet and Russian society have varied depending on the nature of the political and economic regimes. The Soviet pattern of mobility in which success was determined by political forces resulted in social and economic rigidity, and, after a brief period during which this system was being eroded, it now appears that current trends may be returning Russia to the Soviet pattern of mobility

The emergence of the "universal welfare state" and the achievement of an unprecedentedly high level of material well-being in the developed societies of the West revealed a new facet of the problem.
