The view that Russia has taken a decisive shift towards
authoritarianism may be premature, but there is no doubt that its
democracy is in crisis. In this original and dynamic analysis of
the fundamental processes shaping contemporary Russian politics,
Richard Sakwa applies a new model based on the concept of Russia as
a dual state. Russia's constitutional state is challenged by an
administrative regime that subverts the rule of law and genuine
electoral competitiveness. This has created a situation of
permanent stalemate: the country is unable to move towards genuine
pluralist democracy but, equally, its shift towards full-scale
authoritarianism is inhibited. Sakwa argues that the dual state
could be transcended either by strengthening the democratic state
or by the consolidation of the arbitrary power of the
administrative system. The future of the country remains open.
