Quarter-life Crisis Episodes in Emerging Adulthood: A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Data From Eight Countries
Developmental crisis episodes that occur during emerging adulthood, also known as quarter-life crises, are emotionally unstable times of transition that typically last around a year or two. This study aims to expand the cross-cultural focus on this topic, by assessing prevalence and brief written descriptions of early adult crisis in 18–29-year-olds from eight countries (UK, Greece, Czechia, Turkey, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Brazil), with a …
Archaeological Microdistrict of the Late Bronze Age in the Middle Reaches of the Sintashta River
The archaeological microdistrict in the middle reaches of the Sintashta River was identified based on an analysis of the spatial distribution of the Bronze Age archaeological sites. It is 31 km long and includes 12 Late Bronze Age settlements, including two fortified ones; as well as nine funerary monuments, which included 105 mounds, and menhirs, located on the outskirts of two settlements. Most of the settlements are located on the terrace abov…

From Constitution to Law: Implementing the 2020 Russian Constitutional Changes
Although 4 July 2020 saw the coming into force of constitutional changes in Russia, this was far from the end of the story. Most clearly, these changes to the 1993 constitution required implementation, including through amendments to, and the writing of new pieces of, federal legislation. In part, this process was the mundane work of legal bureaucrats, tweaking and creating many pieces of legislation to reflect the new constitutional text. But th…
Transition to a New Model of Russian Governors’ Appointments as a Reflection of Regime Transformation
An array of qualitative and quantitative information on 2016–2020 Russian governors’ replacements is used to analyze decision-making and the patterns of governors’ appointments as well as their evolution in conjunction with regime transformation and regional variation. Regression analysis is used to establish what factors influence replacements, based on regional monitoring data from the Committee of Civic Initiatives. Ethnic republics in the Nor…
Russia’s Regime-on-the-Move
Russia’s political system must be understood as inherently dynamic, with constant regime change being essential to how the regime operates and survives. This regime change does not proceed monotonically toward ever tighter authoritarianism, but can move in both liberal and repressive directions at different times. While on aggregate the trend has been to greater authoritarianism under Putin, certain liberalizing moves have also been important tha…
Control Over the Security Services in Periods of Political Uncertainty: A Comparative Study of Russia and China
Control over the security services is a key ingredient of political survival in authoritarian regimes. This is particularly true during periods of leadership succession and high political uncertainty. In this paper, we compare the strategy used by Vladimir Putin towards the siloviki – the Russian security services – with that employed by Xi Jinping towards the Chinese security services. We find that in both countries, the security services have b…
Three dilemmas of hybrid regime governance: Russia from Putin to Putin
This article investigates how hybrid regimes supply governance by examining a series of dilemmas (involving elections, the mass media, and state institutions) that their rulers face. The authors demonstrate how regime responses to these dilemmas – typically efforts to maintain control while avoiding outright repression and societal backlash – have negative outcomes, including a weakening of formal institutions, proliferation of “substitutions” (e…

Regional Governors under the Dual Power of Medvedev and Putin
The over-centralized unitary model of centre–regional relations that was developed under President Vladimir Putin has not substantially changed under the new dual leadership of Dmitrii Medvedev and Putin. Although the provincial governors have now been successfully integrated into the Kremlin's vertical chain of command, the weakening of their institutional and personal powers has made them a weak link, and it has also made the chain itself weake…
