From the first free elections in post-Soviet Russia in 1989 to the
end of the Yeltsin period in 1999, Russia's parliament was the site
of great political upheavals. Conflicts between communists and
reformers generated constant turmoil, and twice parliamentary
institutions broke down in violence. This book offers the first
full account of the inaugural decade of Russia's parliament. Thomas
F. Remington, a leading scholar of Russian politics, describes in
unique detail the Gorbachev-era parliament of 1989-91, the interim
parliament of 1990-93, and the current Federal Assembly.
Focusing particularly on the emergence of parliamentary parties
and bicameralism, Remington explores how the organization of the
Russian parliament changed, why some changes failed while others
were accepted, and why the current parliament is more effective and
viable than its predecessors. He links the story of parliamentary
evolution in Russia to contemporary theories of institutional
development and concludes that, notwithstanding the turbulence of
Russia's first postcommunist decade, parliament has served as a
stabilizing influence in Russian political life.
