Summary

For the past two decades, Russian leaders have attempted to launch a series of political reforms purportedly aimed at moving the country toward democracy. Have these reforms taken hold? If not, what kind of political regime will sustain in post-Soviet Russia? How has Vladimir Putin's rise to power influenced the country's course? The authors seek to give a comprehensive answer to these fundamental questions about the nature of Russian politics.
