All forms of government require popular support to survive, whether
voluntary or involuntary. Following the collapse of the Soviet
system, Russia s rulers took steps toward democracy, yet under
Vladimir Putin Russia has become increasingly undemocratic. This
book uses a unique source of evidence, eighteen surveys of Russian
public opinion from the first month of the new regime in 1992 up to
2009, to track the changing views of Russians. Clearly presented
and sophisticated figures and tables show how political support has
increased because of a sense of resignation that is stronger than
the uncertain economic reliance on exporting oil and gas. Russia is
not only an outstanding example of popular support increasing for a
government that rejects democracy, but is also representative of a
surprising number of regimes around the world that have been able
to mobilize popular support for undemocratic regimes. Richard Rose
is Director of the Centre for the Study of Public Policy and Sixth
Century Professor of Politics at the University of Aberdeen.
William Mishler is Professor of Government and Public Policy at the
University of Arizona, Visiting Professor of Political Science at
the University of Aberdeen, and co-editor of the Journal of
Politics. Neil Munro is currently a visiting lecturer in the
Department of Asian Studies at the University of Edinburgh and was
formerly a senior research fellow in the Centre for the Study of
Public Policy at the University of Aberdeen.
