Resistance to Decentralization under Medvedev and Putin
How political systems divide functions between levels of government is universally a subject of political struggle, with important implications for democracy, inequality, economic efficiency, and conflict resolution. Russia under Vladimir Putin has shifted from an anarchic proto-federalism in the 1990s to a highly centralized state. Over time, the negative consequences of over-centralization have generated pressures from regional leaders and othe…

How United is United Russia? Regional Sources of Intra-party Conflict
The United Russia party has been given the role of the dominant party in the Russian political system, both at the national level and in all regions. Nevertheless, the party lacks many of the institutional characteristics that would allow it to play an autonomous role, particularly in regional politics. United Russia lacks an effective patronage system; personnel decisions are in the hands of other actors. The party is highly centralized, yet sub…
"Putin's "Southern Strategy: Dmitriy Kozak and the Dilemmas of Recentralization
Putin recentralized policy-making and political power through administrative reforms that reduced the power of the regions and shifted that power to the center. Sent to try to manage Russia's Southern Federal District, which includes the particularly troubled republics of the North Caucasus, and then as the Minister for Regional Development, Dmitriy Kozak developed a series of recommendations that, in effect, rejected Putin's recentralization. Th…
Putin and the Russian Electoral System: "Reforms" To Prevent Regime Change
Pskov Under the LDPR: Elections and Dysfunctional Federalism in One Region
THE POPULAR ELECTION of oblast' governors in Russia in 1996-97 created a foundation for new types of regional political-economic models, some of which may accelerate the implementation of reforms while others may stop or reverse them. Of particular interest is the activity of 'opposition' governors who were elected from the Communist Party and other movements that reject both the pace and direction of national socioeconomic reforms. Among the mod…

Elections to Russia's Regional Assemblies
Privatization in Russia's Regions
An American specialist on Russian and post-Soviet politics examines regional variations in the privatization of both large and small industrial enterprises in Russia during 1992-1994. Using regional statistical data, both published and unpublished, interviews with actors and documentary materials from the Russian press, the author finds substantial differences among regions in the pace and strategy of privatization. He concludes that the weakness…
Political Tendencies in Russia's Regions: Evidence from the 1993 Parliamentary Elections
Most analyses of the consequences of the December 1993 elections have focused on the State Duma that was elected and its likely role in the Russian political process at the national level. The purpose of this study is to go beyond the more obvious impact of the elections to examine underlying patterns and tendencies that could be significant for Russia's future as a federal, multiethnic state. Data on voting for the parliament by party list permi…
The Politics of Transition: Shaping a Post-Soviet Future
The Soviet system has undergone a dramatic transformation: from communist monopoly to multiparty politics, from marxism to competing values, from centralisation to fragmentation, and from state ownership to a mixed economy. This book, by three of the West's leading scholars of Soviet and post-Soviet affairs, traces the politics of transition in the late 1980s and early 1990s from its origins to its uncertain post-communist future. The authors ana…

More Power to the Soviets? Reform and Local Government in the Soviet Union
In recent years the chief emphasis of Soviet legislation on urban administration has been to expand the rights and responsibilities of city governments in planning and co-ordinating economic activities within their territory. Very little has been done, however, to enhance the power of city Soviets so that they might actually carry out these new responsibilities. The same problems that historically have plagued local Soviets continue to undermine …

Party-Sponsored Public Opinion Research in the Soviet Union
Many Soviet party officials no longer consider adequate the traditional methods used for gauging popular attitudes, such as the analysis of letters and complaints. In the mid-1960s, a number of lower-level party organizations created public opinion research groups to conduct more systematic surveys. Institutional arrangements developed haphazardly, however, and the scope of research of most of these units was severely limited. In June 1983 plans …
