Once again on modernity: Reflections on Ideology and Politics
The purpose of this paper is to conduct a historical and exegetical analysis of two sets of ideologies that influence the current political climate of the world: modern and postmodern. The paper argues that the ideational substance of both groups of ideologies is frequently conflated in the political discourse of not only Russia, but also numerous other nations. The discussion argues that liberalism as the predominant and fundamental ideology of …
New world order: Restoration or moral revolution
The ongoing turbulence in global politics has been accompanied by calls to shift the current order of international relations from a rules-based world towards a multipolar system rooted in international law. Political leaders and commentators, primarily of Russian origin, have often referred to those initiatives as a moral revolution in the current world order. This paper examines the theological and philosophical background behind the ideas that…
Covid-19 Pandemic and the World Order
This paper examines the origins, nature, and potential outcomes of the global crisis induced by the Covid-19 pandemic. The authors argue that the crisis has been animated by the two most important groups of factors that have been simmering in the world‘s economic and political system during the past six decades and have been accelerated by the pandemic. First, the dynamic of the Covid-19 crisis illuminated the existing challenges of the contempor…
Ideology and Civilizational Discourse
The current world order is undergoing a profound change in its structure, in the composition of the leading participants, and in the socio-cultural discourse that buttresses the political evolution of international relations. Two factors are essential to understand this process. First, several new states, or groups of states, entered the league of the leading world powers and began to exert a significant influence over global politics. Analysts o…
Political Ideologies in Contemporary Russia
In the realm of political discourse there is a distinct gap in understanding between Russia and the West. To an outsider, the ideas that animate the actions of Russia's ruling elite, opposition, and civil society remain shrouded in mystery. This key text is a major contribution to our understanding of this world power.
Ideas, Ideology & Intellectuals in Search of Russia's Political Future
The intellectual discourse of any state can function within two broad paradigms: consensual and pluralistic. In the first case, political elites, intellectuals, and the public agree on the base parameters of what constitutes “the good life” and argue about the methods of application. In the second case, participants hold radically different, incommensurable views, which coexist in society. This essay argues that the Western political system broad…
Russia’s idea of the multipolar world order: Origins and Main Dimensions
Contemporary international relations are rife with the ideological struggle over the potential nature of the rapidly changing world order. Two distinct paradigmatic positions have surfaced. One champions economic, cultural, and political globalization conducted under the leadership of the Western world. The other advocates a more particularistic approach that fends for a balance of interests, multiplicity of politico-cultural forms and multiple c…
Theoretical Debates within Contemporary Russian Feminism
Feminism emerged as an important ideological trend in contemporary Russia. Different strands of this thought focus on divergent problems experienced by Russian women. Some researchers consider the experience of women representing Russia’s growing middle class. Others tend to focus on the problems of dispossessed and less privileged layers of the Russian society. The difference in the focus of attention is reminiscent of the pre-existing Western d…
Contemporary Russian conservatism
This article analyzes contemporary Russian conservatism through the prism of ideational and positionist ideological perspectives. The author argues that Russian conservatism proposes a distinct value package through its anthropo- centric nature, its plans for modernization of Russia, and its future outlook that must rest on the best elements of tradition. The author compares these trends with the Western conservative tradition, making distinct pa…
Competing Ideologies of Russia's Civil Society
Many analysts and public opinion makers in the West conflate the notions of Russia’s non-systemic liberal opposition and the country’s civil society. Indeed, despite garnering the support of a minority of Russia’s population, non-systemic liberal opposition represents a well-organized civic group with a clearly articulated agenda and the ability to take action. Yet, does Russia’s civil society end there? A closer look at the country’s politics sh…
Contemporary Russian liberalism
This article analyzes contemporary Russian liberalism through the prism of \ncompeting trends of moderate pluralist and monistic radical thought. The \nauthor focuses particularly on the pluralist trend, less well known in the West, \narguing that its prospects are more promising over the long term. Ideological \nand tactical differences within the liberal camp in Russia are compared with \nthose in the West, both for the purpose of emphasizing t…
Russian fundamental conservatism: In Search of Modernity
A UK-based political scientist presents a systematic analysis of the basic philosophical arguments and intellectual origins of fundamental conservative thought in Russia. Positing that fundamental conservatism seeks to displace interpretations of Western modernity in Russia with a culturally specific Russian version, she then probes more deeply into the methods and tasks of fundamental conservatism, before examining its main theoretical arguments…
Contemporary Russian Multiculturalism
The paper examines contemporary Russian debates about multiculturalism. A categorization of procedural and substantive approaches in Western theory and practice is presented. Russian approaches are contrasted with Western ones along both procedural and substantive dimensions
State-sponsored civic associations in Russia: Systemic Integration or the ‘War of Position
Which theoretical paradigm should we use to discuss the relationship between the state and civil society in Russia? Academic literature distinguishes two principal approaches to this problem: the East European political tradition, which treats the state and civil society in antagonistic terms; and the West European and Anglo-American strand, which focuses on co-operation between the two entities. A nuanced study of modern Russia indicates that th…

Putin's struggle for federalism: Structures, operation, and the commitment problem
This article provides an analysis of the institutional mechanisms that are required to ensure the effective functioning of federalism in Russian politics.

The Unintended Consequences of Gubernatorial Appointments in Russia, 2005–6
The cancellation of gubernatorial elections in Russia was aimed at tightening the central grip over the regions and checking the influence of regional elites at the sub-national level. These policies represented a logical continuation to centralizing reforms launched by President Putin upon his accession to power in March 2000. However, the results of the enactment of the new system were rather different, inadvertently leading to the emergence of…
