Opis

Russians want free elections and order. Although their political elites have had no difficulty in supplying candidates and parties in the last decade, predictability in everyday life and the rule of law have suffered. This book is about Russia's attempt to achieve democratization backwards, by holding elections without having created a modern state. This dilemma is the challenge that Russia presents to Vladimir Putin.

Recenzje

'It would be hard to find any important topic in Russian politics that is not covered by the survey data presented in this book, which is outstanding for the evidence it presents, just as Richard Rose himself is untouchable in the production of public opinion and psephological data on post-communist Russia and Eastern Europe … There is no doubt at all about the book's quality and it will have no difficulty in making its way in the world.'
