How did this system take shape, how else might it have developed, and what are the prospects for re-envisioning it more democratically in the future? These questions animate Dmitrii Furman's Imitation Democracy, a welcome antidote to books that blandly decry Putin as an omnipotent dictator, without considering his platforms, constituencies, and sources of power. With extensive public opinion polling drawn from throughout the late- and post-Soviet period, and a thorough knowledge of both official and unofficial histories, Furman offers a definitive account of the formation of the modern Russian political system, casting it into powerful relief through comparisons with other post-Soviet states."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Russia (Federation) 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Politics and government $y 1991- 650 0 $a Authoritarianism $z Russia (Federation) 650 0 $a Democracy $z Russia (Federation) 700 1 $a Dreiblatt, Ian, $d 1980- $e translator. 700 1 $a Gessen, Keith, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Wood, Tony, $d 1976- $e writer of afterword. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781788733557 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011004.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907011551.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=440C7924D37711ED83DD52344BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
