Vladimir Putin has pursued an anti-pluralist strategy, remaking the balance of power in Russian politics to favor â forceâ (the coercive apparatus of the old state bureaucracy, especially the KGB) over â moneyâ (those who gained new wealth after 1991, especially the â oligarchsâ ). Will this new balance endure? Business has many reasons â and increasing resources â for pursuing a larger political role. The future of Russian pluralism depends above all on the response of business interests to changing economic and political circumstances. Will they doubt their legitimacy and seek a protector â or ally with others to alter Putinâ s bureaucratic order
