Who rules Russia? This question is generated by President Vladimir
Putin's most ambitious reform program to date-his attempt since
2000 to reshape the Russian federation, centralize much of the
power lost by the Kremlin to the eighty-nine regional governors
during the 1990s, and strengthen his weak grip on Russia's
institutions and political elite. In The Dynamics of Russian
Politics Russian and Western authors from the fields of political
science, economics, ethnology, law, and journalism examine the
reform's impact of key areas of Russian life, including big
business, law enforcement, corruption, political party development,
health care, local government, small business, and ethnic
relations. Volume I presents the historical context and an overview
of the reforms, then tracks how Putin's plans were implemented and
resisted across each of the seven new federal okrugs, or
megaregions, into which he divided Russia. In particular, the
authors analyze the goals and contrasting political styles of his
seven commissars and how their often-concealed struggles with the
more independent and determined governors played out. Volume II
examines the impact of these reforms on Russia's main political
institutions; the increasingly assertive business community; and
the defense, police, and security ministries. Together, the two
volumes simultaneously reveal that Putin's successes have been much
more limited and ambiguous than is widely believed in the West
while offering detailed and nuanced answers to the difficult but
crucial question: Who rules Russia?
