An expert on Russian politics examines the development of regional political institutions in St. Petersburg, comparing them with those of other regions of Russia. Asking whether St. Petersburg is a "delegative democracy," and whether democratic institutions have taken root in the city, the author examines five areas: the way chief executives have been chosen; the nature of the legislature and its relations with the executive branch; the effectiveness of political parties; the degree of independence of the media; and the relationship of local politics and the federal government
