Geographic Factors of Voting in Russian Regions: Direct and Contextual Effects
Adopting a politico-geographical approach, we focus on both the direct and indirect effects of the geographic features of Russian regions on voting in the Duma elections of 2016 and 2021. We test the explanatory power of geographic variables on the levels of electoral support for the Kremlin’s party, United Russia (UR), and the three systemic opposition parties; the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), the Liberal Democratic Party of…
Territorial Heterogeneity as a Factor of Cross-Regional Variations in the Activity of National Lawmaking: Russia in Comparative Perspective
In some countries, all subnational units have the “right of legislative initiative” as one of the shared rule arrangements. However, despite equal opportunities within the country, regions demonstrate enormous differences in their legislative activity. Based on the calculation of the number of regional legislative initiatives for the period 2001–2020 in Russia and some other European countries (Italy, Spain, Germany, and Switzerland), we examine …
Ethnic Npos as an Organizational Form of Social and Political Activity of Minorities in Contemporary Russia
Ethnic parties are conventionally considered as the main form of politicization of ethnicity, but in those countries where they are absent, the social and political activity of ethnic minorities is manifested in the form of non-governmental organizations - “ethnic NPOs”. In contemporary Russia, both the main areas of activity of ethnic NPOs and the normative and institutional infrastructure of their interaction with the authorities are strongly u…
On the Relevance of The Present State of the Study of Politics (Round Table)
The authors view the main issues raised in Charles Merriam’s article The Present State of the Study of Politics in the context of the current trends in the development of political knowledge in Russia and worldwide. Merriam proposed a new view of Political Science as a scientific discipline with its own research goals related to the empirical study of the political behavior of people. Merriam’s approach to determining the status of Political Scie…
Mobilized voting’ versus ‘performance voting’ in electoral autocracies: Territorial variations in the levels of support for the systemic opposition parties in Russian municipalities
The main task of authoritarian elections is to guarantee the survival of the regime. Achieving this goal, authoritarian rulers rely on authoritarian electoral mobilization that is employed by political machines, targeted mostly on poor and dependent voters. At the same time, since electoral autocracies permit opposition parties, those voters, who avoid mobilization, are able to make a choice between the government and the opposition. If they are …
Dense Networks, Ethnic Minorities, and Electoral Mobilization in Contemporary Russia
Dense networks are supposed to allow political machines to solve the “commitment problem” that is typical for electoral mobilization. Highlighting the effect of dense networks, we study the features of local communities that facilitate their emergence: countryside, small size of a settlement, and “segregated” type of ethnic groups’ localization in relation to each other. On the ground of the 2016 Duma elections, an original dataset based on local…
Localization of Ethnic Groups in the Regions as a Factor in Cross-Regional Variations in Voting for United Russia
In the context of electoral authoritarianism, political mobilization is likely to be a more reasonable explanation of cross-regional variations in voting for the party of power than the diversity of the regions’ policy preferences. In the Russian Federation, the political machines which coordinate various activities aimed at mobilizing people to vote for United Russia demonstrate different degrees of effectiveness. This article examines the struc…
Volatility in Electoral Support for United Russia: Cross-Regional Variations in Putin’s Electoral Authoritarian Regime
Grounded in the main theoretical approaches to the study of electoral volatility, this article examines cross-regional variations in the levels of volatility for United Russia (UR) in Duma elections over the period 2003–2016, which are juxtaposed with the level of volatility for the Kremlin’s candidates in presidential elections. The main finding is that ‘regime type’ or, more precisely, ‘authoritarianism’ is the key explanatory variable. Stronge…
The range and limitation of sub-national regime variations under electoral authoritarianism: The case of Russia
As has been demonstrated by scholars, different levels of a polity may encompass different political regimes. In this study we examine variations in regional political regimes which have developed under Russia's system of electoral authoritarianism. Comparing the results of two cycles of regional assembly elections (2008–12 and 2013–17) we analyse and compare elections results and levels of electoral contestation in both the party list (PL) and s…
The World of Ethnic Regional Autonomies: Introducing the New Dataset
The article introduces the Ethnic Regional Autonomies Dataset (ERAD), which describes the contemporary population of politically autonomous regions established on the basis of ethnicity. We conceptualize an ERA as a special case of accommodative policy related to decentralization/devolution of powers to relevant territorially concentrated ethnic groups. The data captures the major characteristics of ERAs across the world, including demographic, e…
The dynamic nationalisation of voting for United Russia: The Stability / Instability of Regional Deviations From National Results
Based on the results of Duma and Presidential elections over the period 2003–2016, this article examines cross-regional variation in static and dynamic nationalisation of voting for United Russia (UR). The main finding is that in an overwhelming majority of Russian regions, a high level of static nationalisation is accompanied by a high level of dynamic nationalisation. In most of the regions, voting for UR rises or falls in a consistent manner a…
How Do Governors Build a Power Vertical in the Context of Mayoral Elections
Although the spread of direct mayoral elections was weakened during the 2000s, they have survived in many municipalities until the present time. In the context of Russia’s ‘power vertical’, regional authorities are strongly involved in local elections. As a rule, they have their own candidates and provide them with support during election campaigns. It is not surprising that most often the candidates of governors are incumbents. At the same time,…
Levels of Centralisation and Autonomy in Russia’s ‘Party of Power’: Cross-Regional Variations
The institutionalization and nationalisation of Russia’s party system, which is dominated by United Russia (UR), has played a major role in the building of Putin’s ‘power vertical’. Nevertheless, despite the fact that formal relations within United Russia are highly centralized, informal practices allow for far greater degrees of regional autonomy. Focusing on UR’s candidate selection for the 2011 Duma election this paper provides an examination …
In search of inter-ethnic balance: Ethnic composition and informal power-sharing in Russian national republics
One of the most influential approaches to the management of ethno-political conflicts – power-sharing – assumes that politically salient ethnic groups should be included in the policy-making process through special arrangements concerning the allocation of political offices between ethnic segments. This article compares the practices of the allocation of political offices in Russian national republics and aims to examine to what extent they depen…

Sub-National Elections in Russia: Variations in United Russia's Domination of Regional Assemblies
This study examines the support for United Russia in 43 regional assembly elections which were conducted over the period from March 2008 to March 2011. In contrast to previous studies, which have tended to focus on the overall results of regional elections or just on the party-list votes, it provides a quantitative analysis of the votes for United Russia in the plural single member district contests. By widening the traditional focus on the aggre…
Nation-Building in Post-Soviet Russia: What Kind of Nationalism is Produced by the Kremlin
After collapse and subsequent dissolution of the Soviet Union, post-Soviet Russia faced typical problems of state-building and nation-building. Nations are assumed as political communities of Modernity. They are constructed in the process of nation-building and are based on nationalism, defined as worldview which perceives social reality through the prism of dividing the world into nations-states. Nation-building is a discursive process where sta…

On Criteria of Elections Estimation
Изучение выборов представляет собой направление политического анализа, концептуально-методологическая база которого и исследовательский инструментарий, как считают авторы статьи, еще далеко не в полной мере разработаны. Так, до сих пор отсутствуют стандартные критерии, с помощью которых можно было бы типологизировать, классифицировать и оценивать выборы. В данной работе авторы делают попытку предложить универсальные критерии оценки выборов, исход…
Alteration of Electoral Institutions in Russia (Cross-Regional Analysis)
In the article, an attempt has been made, of analyzing — on the basis of the institutional rational choice conception — distinctions in regional electoral institutions’ structures. Proceeding from the said conception, the author proposes a theoretical model within which these distinctions are accounted for by specific features of the corresponding regions’ political regimes. While checking — against the materials of the 2002 to 2003 electoral ref…
