This comprehensive study of Russian electoral politics shows the vulnerability of Putin's regime as it navigates the risks of voter manipulation.

Recenzje

'Theoretically rich, impressively researched, and full of fascinating detail, Smyth's new book shows how protests can alter the course of even the strongest authoritarian regimes. It is surely one of the best political science books on Russia in recent years.' Henry E. Hale, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs, Elliott School of International Affairs, The George Washington University
