Political Rivalry and Conflict in Putin’s Russia
The year 2015 throughout Russia was much less about what it seemed than what it revealed. On the surface, after the September 2015 combined regional and local elections, Russia appeared to be tranquil, politically disengaged, and supportive of President Vladimir Putin. The underlying reality was quite different. The election exposed a country divided by rivalry and a conflict of interests within the Russian political establishment set off by Puti…

The Political Resurrection of Russian Governors
Elections for all 83 Russian governors were reinstated in Russia in 2012, seven years after they had been suspended. The democratic reform coincided with renewed political activism in Russia since December 2011, but the reform was as much a belated recognition of the shortcomings and failures from appointing Russian governors. Pragmatic necessity and not democratic conversion was the determining factor. Based on the first elections in October 201…
Medvedev, Political Reform, and Russian Regions
While speculation and skepticism surround President Dmitry Medvedev's political reforms, their effects may already be evident in Russia's regions. In the past three years, a significant turnover of leadership has occurred in Russian Federation localities, with new, younger, and more female cohorts recruited to positions of authority. The new leadership may foreshadow a generational change in the Russian political elite as the enduring legacy of b…
Russian Local Politics in the Putin–Medvedev Era
Political reforms and changes on the local level by the Putin–Medvedev leadership have resulted in an almost unprecedented turnover of leadership but they have aroused political conflict and even resistance by unsettling the political status quo throughout the 83 subnational units of the Russian Federation. The reforms have resulted in the marginalisation of the authority of city mayors, the recruitment from outside of chief executives of federat…
Who has led Russia? Russian regional political elites, 1954 – 2006
Quantitative measures are used to compare the age, tenure, gender and change of political elites in 18 Russian regions from 1954 to 2006. The study finds more similarities than differences between regional elites from the Soviet era and from the post-Soviet Russian era. The Russian regional political elite since 1992 is actually older than the Soviet elite and resembles it quite closely in terms of years in office and turnover, comparing both the…

Political-Economic Elites and Russian Regional Elections 1999-2000: Democratic Tendencies in Kaliningrad, Perm and Volgograd
PRESIDENT PUTIN'S POLITICAL REFORMS since March 2000, increasing the control the federal government exercises over Russia's administrative subdivisions, have evoked fears of a return to authoritarianism by someone who has consistently praised the order and stability of the Soviet past. The primary justification of Putin's reforms to create an 'effective state' and 'uniform legal space' is their purported beneficial effect in advancing civil right…
Policy Dilemmas of Post‐Soviet Countries
I wonder what the West would think of us if Russia were to urge it to undertake reforms that would cost it half its gross domestic product, lake 10 years off its average life expectancy, and reduce its standard of living by two‐thirds while throwing millions of people out of work, causing social anarchy, and displacing millions of specialists from positions in their fields to the very lowest rungs of society....1

The day brought many of Elting’s friends and family back to MIT, where he had spent much of his career as a teacher and scholar. Thomas Parke Hughes, long a close friend, sug…

WITH the death of Leonid Brezhnev in November 1982 Western Sovietologists once more are provided with one of those all too rare transitions in central power since 1953 when the ability of a new central leader to emerge and initiate policy changes tells us much about the underlying institutional forces of the Soviet political system. Much speculation already has surfaced among Western Sovietologists since November 1982 about the alleged institutio…

Cultural Revolution in Russia, 1928-1931
Cultural revolution, as defined by contemporary Soviet historians, is a necessary part of the transition to a socialist society. Its occurrence conforms to a general law governing the development of socialism.1 Its prerequisite is the political revolution by which the Marxist-Leninist party takes power. The party, having taken power, is the initiator of cultural revolution whose characteristics are democratization of cul

Indoctrination as a Female Political Role in the Soviet Union
In recent years, Western scholars have demonstrated an increasing interest in the political status of women in the Soviet Union.' To some extent, their studies have been prompted by the liberation movement in the West, the emergence of women as a major academic focus and concern, and the search for alternative models of women in societies like that of the Soviet Union-a country whose leadership emphasizes that its women have made great strides to…
