The general election of December 1993 has cast long and fateful shadow on political developments in Russia. In it, the electoral majority broadcast warning signal to the governing coalition of radical reformers, amounting to a shock to both Western and Russian observers.l And shock it was, indeed, since such antireform parties as the Liberal-Democratic Party of Vladimir Zhirinovsky and two varieties of communist parties, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Agrarian Party, rolled up totals beyond most people's imagination. A body of scholarly literature is beginning to form in response to the election which will tell scholars more about the Russian political context and, as important, the process of democratization in the Russian Federation.2 Yet, what was the nature of the warning from the Russian electorate? Why did Russians vote as they did? Were their choices based solely on pocketbook issues, in opposition to reform, or were they due to set of complex motivations
