Since the collapse of the Soviet Union a quarter of a century ago,
Russia has undergone a dizzying and complex transition that has
seen it transform from a communist state into a democracy before
regressing back to the more authoritarian regime that exists today.
Through a compelling and insightful analysis of the Russian case,
this book explores the role that social welfare plays in regime
transitions, specifically it examines the role that gender and
social welfare has played in Russia's often chaotic post-communist
political evolution, from Boris Yeltsin's assumption of the
presidency in 1991 to Vladimir Putin's return for a third term as
president in 2012. From 2001 to 2011, social welfare (especially
pronatalist policies) was a key part of the political leadership's
governance strategy. A shift from pluralism to regulation
accompanied a discourse in which strong government would rein-in a
wayward society. But can a hierarchical political system satisfy
the aspirations of a changing citizenry? This study demonstrates
that gender is at the very centre of debates over the authenticity
of democracy in Russia.
