Research and analysis of the post-Soviet Russian experience of
political, economic and social change have generally focused
attention on the complications and influences of the Soviet legacy
on the transition process with most early main stream studies
emphasizing the difficulties of the adoption of the institutions of
democracy and a free market economy to the centralized command and
control legacy structures carried over from that adjacent system to
the more recent analyses that have attempted to explain why the
Putinist hybrid authoritarian democracy emerged to take control of
the Russian state. The complex nature of the Russian experience of
political, social and economic change had yet to be explained as a
long-term legacy analysis until now with the linkages presented in
this study of the legacies and structures that have defied attempts
at reform by the Bolsheviks, the Soviets and the modern
Republicans. The political geography of Russia represents a
districting system that defines the people and places and
represents an influential legacy structure that has had a long
reach from the Russia of Imperialism to the Russia of Putinism and
the twenty first century. A clearer understanding of the influences
the Imperial legacy brings to the Russian transformation enables
the student of post-Soviet Russian transition an opportunity to
contextualize the strong linkages of historical governance
structures with the one hundred years of Bolshevik and Soviet
system capture and the struggles of transformation faced by the
government and people of Russia today.
