Over the period December 2011-July 2013, a tidal wave of mass
protests swept through the Russian capital and engulfed scores of
cities and regions. These demonstrations came as a great shock to
the Russian political establishment. After decades of passive
acceptance of the status quo, it appeared that civil society was at
last awakening. The protests came in the wake of the "Arab Spring"
revolts which toppled authoritarian dictators in Tunisia, Egypt and
Libya. However, by the end of 2013 the number of mass protests in
Russia, and their size, had declined precipitously. President
Putin, on returning to office in 2012, had quickly regained the
upper hand over the protestors. This book examines the reasons for
the rise and fall of the mass protests in the Russian Federation.
Internationally renowned experts in the field of Russian politics
from Russia and the UK provide important new insights into the
nature of the mass opposition movement (the "non-systemic
opposition"), its strengths and its weaknesses. A key novel aspect
of the study is its focus on the national and regional dimensions
of the protest movement, and its class and ethnic dimensions. This
book was published as a special issue of Europe-Asia Studies.
